Personal life

Mario Terán was born around 1940[1] and is married with five children, and covertly lives in Paraguay under the alias of "Pedro Salazar".[2] Some speculate that he has an agreement with the U.S. CIA, who is said to be protecting him, while others theorize that he is afraid of a Cuban unit seeking revenge.[1][2]

2006 Operation

In 2006, Terán was treated for free under a false name for cataracts by Cuban physicians in the Cuba-Venezuela Operación Milagro (Operation Miracle) program, which restored his sight.[3]
