SANTA CLARA, July 24 (Omar Ruiz Hernández, Grupo Decoro /
www.cubanet.org) - After kidnapping a horse in a rural area next to the town of
San Diego del Valle, about 25 miles west of provincial capital city Santa Clara,
the abductors asked the animal’s owner for a ransom of 1,000 pesos if he
wanted to see his horse again.
The crime is not unheard of; the horse is a new twist. This sort of thing
had been happening to owners of motorcycles; people here say if they didn’t
pay up, the motorcycles would not show up even in a séance.
Locals also assume this type of criminal activity has to somehow involve the
police, who they say are only as efficient as they want to be given the degree
of government control prevalent in the country.
