Officials also revealed to The Associated Press that authorities were able to establish that the 10 Cuban suspects left the US in two boats, but one failed, so they transferred all the supplies to the remaining one and left the other adrift.
The government said the detained suspects revealed those details and stressed that they immediately contacted the US Coast Guard.
Among the items Cuban officials said were aboard the boat: A dozen high-powered weapons, including one with a scope; a big cooler filled with more than 12,800 pieces of ammunition; 11 pistols; heavy-duty boots, helmets with cameras; and camouflage backpacks.
