Cryptonym: AMNUBA-2
Garcia was captured during an infiltration mission into Cuba in August of 1967, and was shot in the arm. Anibal Garcia allegedly stated he joined the CIA in June of 1963, and had a brother who was in prison in Cuba, while his father had served a prison sentence in that country. After being captured Garcia served a prison sentence in Cuba.
Garcia was one of the CIA agents or assets who were exposed by AMHINT-56, along with AMNUBA-1, -3 and -4, and others.
In terms of the 1965 CIA document mentioned above, the name of (first name unknown/fnu) Sajeda appeared in the "High" category for non-verbal intellectual abilities. This was possibly Juan Sajeda. A FBI report in June of 1969 from Miami stated that a source of Lazaro Eddy Espinosa Bonet believed that Juan Sajeda was in the Dade County Prison at that time. In a FBI report from Miami in February, 1972, Juan Sejada's name was among a list of Cubans in the Miami area who were believed to have been connected with the CIA. The list also contained the names of Luis Posada (AMCLEVE-15/CIFENCE-4); Pedro Diaz (QDBIAS); Dionisio Pastrana (AMSEED-3); and Nino Diaz (AMNORM-1).
