AFP/ La Habana. El ex agente de la Agencia Central de Inteligencia (CIA) radicado en Cuba, Philip Agee, falleció en La Habana el pasado lunes a la edad de 72 años, informó este miércoles el diario oficialista Granma, sin precisar las causas del deceso.
"Philip Agee fue un leal amigo de Cuba y ferviente defensor de la lucha de los pueblos por un mundo mejor", dijo Granma y señaló que el estadounidense fue oficial de la CIA hasta 1968, cuando rompió con la Agencia "por motivos de conciencia", y a partir de los años setenta se radicó en la Isla.
El diario afirmó que Agee publicó en 1974 Al interior de la Compañía, un diario de la CIA, best-seller en 1975, traducido a más de 30 idiomas, y "desde entonces se consagró a denunciar las actividades terroristas, desestabilizadoras y subversivas" de Washington "contra gobiernos y personas progresistas y revolucionarios de América Latina y el Caribe".
Agee, quien dijo "haber hecho mucho mal a Cuba" cuando trabajó para la CIA, fundó en 2000 la agencia de viajes Cubalinda, la primera compañía estadounidense que operó en la Isla, en desafío al embargo que Washington aplica contra Cuba desde 1962.

Y cerró los ojos antes las acciones terroristas, desestabilizadoras, subversivas e injerencistas de la tiranía cubana por casi todo el mundo.

(AP) Former CIA agent Philip Agee, a critic of U.S. foreign policy who infuriated American intelligence officials by naming purported agency operatives in a 1975 book, has died, state media reported Wednesday. He was 72.
Agee quit the CIA in 1969 after 12 years working mostly in Latin America at a time when leftist movements were gaining prominence and sympathizers. His 1975 book "Inside the Company: CIA Diary," cited alleged CIA misdeeds against leftists in the region and included a 22-page list of purported agency operatives.
Granma, Cuba's Communist Party newspaper, said Agee died Monday night and described him as "a loyal friend of Cuba and fervent defender of the peoples' fight for a better world."
Bernie Dwyer, a journalist with state-run Radio Havana, said in a Tuesday message posted to a Cuba e-mail group that Agee's wife called him to say he had died after ulcer surgery in a hospital where he has he been since Dec. 15.
"He had several operations for perforated ulcers and didn't survive all the surgery," Dwyer wrote, adding that Agee was cremated Tuesday and that friends planned a memorial ceremony for him Sunday at his Havana apartment.
Agee's U.S. passport was revoked in 1979. U.S. officials said he had threatened national security. After years of living in Hamburg, Germany - occasionally underground, fearing CIA retribution - Agee moved to Havana to open a travel Web site.
The site, cubalinda.com, is designed to bring U.S. tourists to Cuba, offering package tours and other help that is largely off-limits to Americans because of the U.S. trade embargo. Agee opened the site in 2000 with European investors and a state-run travel agent as his partners.
