The internet seems to have become the latest front in the long ideological war between Cuba and the United States.

A BBC Caribbean report stated that Havana is now accusing Washington of trying to use illegal satellite communications equipment to destabilise the Cuban government.

In the first of a series of documentaries aired on Monday on local television, Cuba said it will lay open the United States’ effort of relaying illegal communications there.

Internet access is state-controlled and limited in Cuba.

The television programme comes just two days after Havana concluded a trial against an American man who is being accused of trying to subvert the government.

The man, Alan Gross, has denied the charge and the Obama administration is demanding his release.

Cuba has said the tribunal will announce a verdict and sentence in the next few days.
