The Bay of Pigs invasion was a failed 1961 [[Central Intelligence Agency]] operation to overthrow [[Fidel Castro]] in [[Cuba]] whose veterans became key operatives in Contra operations and drug trafficking networks during the 1980s. When the CIA needed a secret base to prepare for the invasion, Nicaraguan dictator [[Anastasio Somoza]] provided it. "The U.S. called me, and I agreed to have the bombers leave here and knock the hell out of the installations in Cuba, like a Pearl Harbor deal," Somoza said.[^1]
