But the Cuban Embassy and anti-Castro Cuban refugee sources in Mexico City, along with the Mexican government denied knowledge of any plot or of any plans to ship guns through Veracruz, Mexico.

Port officials in Veracruz said they noticed no preparations for any kind of an arms shipment to Cuba. But special agent Michael B. Pollack of the Justice Department's strike force said the smugglers planned to ship the arms to a secret landing strip in Veracruz and then take them to Cuba. Police arrested nine men, including a former U.S. immigration official, in connection with the alleged plot.
