HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuba restored citizenship on Friday to seven veterans of the failed 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion in a gesture of reconciliation toward Cuban exiles living in the United States.

The seven men were members of the CIA-trained Brigade 2506 that landed on Cuba's south coast in an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the fledgling leftist government of Fidel Castro.

I wonder how many of Brigade 2506 were offered this citizenship and refused..
