Alpha 66 was a paramilitary anti-Castro terrorist group formed by Cuban exiles in Florida who trained during the 1960s and 1970s in the Everglades for an eventual armed invasion of Cuba.

Though an invasion never materialized after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, the group continued it's efforts against the Cuban government of Fidel Castro.

The Cuban government maintains that Alpha 66 is a terrorist organisation that has been responsible for attacks against Cuban citizens, in addition to the Cuban government. [1]
