	Cuban Five - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cuban Five are Gerardo Hernández, Antonio Guerrero, Ramón Labañino, Fernando Gonzáles, and René Gonzáles.
		The five convicted men say that they were in Miami to monitor anti-Castro Cuban exile groups which they claim were engaged in terrorist activities against Cuba; the Cuban government claims that since 1959, 3,478 Cubans died in such attacks, 68 of them occurring in the 1990s.
		The U.S. arrested the Cuban Five as part of a group of alleged spies known as the "Wasp Network." One member of the five, Gerardo Hernandez, infiltrated Brothers to the Rescue and sent information back to Cuba that led to the downing of the plane.
