José Basulto is the leader of the Cuban exile organization Brothers to the Rescue. The group, whose stated purpose was to assist Cuban emigrant rafters fleeing from the country, has violated Cuban airspace on numerous occasions and dropped anti-Fidel Castro leaflets over Havana. Basulto is considered a terrorist by the Cuban government.

Since the Cuban Revolution, Basulto participated in various activities intended to subvert or overthrow the Cuban government. After the revolution, he was trained by the CIA in intelligence, communications, explosives, sabotage and subversion in Panama, Guatemala, and the United States. He was later placed back into Cuba, posing as a physics student at the University of Santiago to help prepare the ground for the Bay of Pigs Invasion. In 1961, under CIA sponsorship, Basulto infiltrated Cuba for a commando operation intended to sabotage an alleged missile site, a mission which was ultimately aborted. In August 1962 he took a boat to Cuba and fired a 20mm cannon at a hotel, though nobody was killed in the incident. In the 1980s Basulto flew medical supplies to the Nicaraguan Contras.
