Stoking the conflagrations, police informers say, is a cabal of fewer than 50 extremists, whose efforts are abetted by Fidel Castro. Earlier this year, a band calling themselves Armed Commandos for Liberation lay claim to the fires in letters to the press. By making it impossible for businesses to obtain insurance, they aim to evict "the Yankee invader and his investment of imperialist capital" from the island...
