Timeline

1926

Orlando Bosch Ávila (18 August 1926 – 27 April 2011) was a Cuban exile militant, who headed the Coordination of United Revolutionary Organizations (CORU), described by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation as a terrorist organization.

Born in Cuba, Bosch attended medical school at the University of Havana, where he befriended Fidel Castro.

Orlando Bosch Ávila was born on 18 August 1926 in the village of Potrerillo, 240 km east of Havana.

His mother was a school teacher, and his father owned a restaurant.

1946

In 1946 Bosch enrolled in the University of Havana medical school, where he befriended the future Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

Bosch was president of the medical school student body while Castro was head of the law school student body.

Castro was only five days younger than Bosch.

Bosch would later state that the two were close friends who frequently smoked cigars together.

While they were students, both men worked against the government of Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista.

According to a classmate of his, Bosch's fiery temperament earned him the nickname "Piro", meaning pyromaniac.

1950

He worked as a doctor in Santa Clara Province in the 1950s, but moved to Miami in 1960 after he stopped supporting the Cuban Revolution.

1952

After graduating, Bosch moved to Toledo, Ohio for a paediatric internship, beginning in 1952.

He then returned to Cuba to work as a doctor in Santa Clara Province.

His activities included vaccinating children against polio.

He also covertly organized for Castro's guerilla war against the Batista government.

1960

In 1960, however, less than one-and-a-half years after Castro overthrew Batista, Bosch stopped supporting the Cuban Revolution, and moved to Miami with his wife Myriam, a fellow medical school graduate.

They took their four children with them, and soon had another child.

The couple divorced ten years later, when Bosch was in prison.

Bosch began working for a hospital in Coral Gables, Florida, where he held the position of assistant director.

1961

Between 1961 and 1968 Bosch was arrested several times in the United States for attacks directed at the Cuban government, and briefly collaborated with the Central Intelligence Agency.

1968

He was jailed in Florida in 1968 for a bazooka attack on a Polish freighter, but violated parole and fled to Venezuela in 1974 at the invitation of fellow exile militant Luis Posada Carriles.

Arrested for a bombing, he was released in exchange for surrendering his munitions, and moved to Chile.

The US government considered him to have been involved in multiple bombings while there.

1970

While in Chile in the early 1970s, Bosch met Adriana Delgado, whom he married in February 1975.

Adriana, his second wife, was 20 years younger than him.

1976

In 1976 he was arrested for an assassination attempt in Costa Rica; the US declined an extradition offer, and he was sent to the Dominican Republic.

Bosch founded CORU in 1976 along with Posada and other Cuban exiles.

The group was responsible for a number of attacks in 1976, including the assassination of Orlando Letelier in Washington, D.C. as a part of Operation Condor.

CORU is also considered to be responsible for the bombing of Cubana Flight 455, a Cuban civilian airliner, on 6 October 1976 in which all 73 people on board were killed.

Bosch, Posada, and two others were arrested and tried for the bombing in Venezuela.

In 1976, the couple had a daughter.

1986

Posada escaped from prison, while Bosch was acquitted by a Venezuelan military court in 1986.

The other two men, both employees of Posada, were sentenced to twenty years in prison.

1988

Upon his return to the U.S. in 1988, Bosch was arrested for parole violations.

The Justice Department, which considered him a terrorist, sought to deport him.

He was allowed to stay, and later granted residency, by US President George H. W. Bush after a widespread lobbying campaign that included Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and the president's son Jeb Bush.

In his later years Bosch raised money to support resistance to the Cuban government, and died in Miami aged 84.

He remains a controversial figure, with former US Attorney General Dick Thornburgh describing him as an "unreformed terrorist".

Bosch would return to the United States in 1988, despite being wanted for parole violations, saying "I have a loving wife who resides in the United States and five American children with whom I want to share the last years of my life."

2011

He died in 2011 aged 84 in a hospital in the suburbs of Miami.
