My friend and I are arguing about an instance he says occurred during the Cuban Revolution. He says that Che killed 'a bunch' of innocent people when he placed a bomb on the train tracks. He says that he heard it on pbs or something. So far I can't really argue because I don't know what happened, if anything. The only train bombings I can think of are when he bombed trains full of military equipment/reactionary Batista henchmen. But I can't think of any civilian targets. Help me out! :D

Che did let a train run off the rails, at Santa Clara. The
train carried supplement for Batistas army. Through
that Che successfully attacked Santa Clara.
The battle of Santa Clara was nearly the final battle of
the revolution.
But I haven´t heard anything of him killing innocents.
Maybe it was "collateral damage" ?

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I've searched and searched but I still can't find any info on it. He's probably lying to annoy me.

Probably, my friends do the same.
They find it funny for no fathomable reason.

Besides what REVOLUCION has mentioned before, Ernesto never killed any "innocents" in a train wreck.
