Two Bombs found on Refugee

Miami police intelligence officers arrested a Cuban refugee before dawn Wednesday and confiscated two phosphorous incendiary bombs and packets of "Cuban Power" posters.

It was the fourth arrest in a month associated with the nebulous "Cuban Power" organization that has been blamed for recent bombings and bombing attempts in the Miami area.

Police said the refugee, Omar Bosco-Soto, 24, of 27 NW 47th St., was arrested while he was sitting in his parked car at 816 SW 12th Ct.

Sgt. E. W. McCracken said he found two grenade type phosphorous bombs under the seat of the car and assorted "Poder Cubano" leaflets, bumper stickers, and posters elsewhere in the car.

Bosco-Soto, who was reportedly serving three years probation on a 1966 burglary conviction, told police that he was "a public relations man" for Cuban Power, but denied any knowledge of the phosphorous-filled canisters.

He was charged with possession of explosive devices and was being held late Wednesday under $20,000 bond.

Police said the incendiary bombs were the same type used in a recent attempted bombing of the Mexican Consulate in Miami.
