U.S. Justice Department Investigates Indicting Former Cuban Leader Raúl Castro Over 1996 Shootdown Incident
The U.S. Justice Department is considering indicting former Cuban leader Raúl Castro for his role in the 1996 shootdown of two planes belonging to the Miami-based exile group Brothers to the Rescue. Castro was the defense minister at the time, making him a high-ranking official in Cubas government. The incident occurred when the groups planes entered Cuban airspace, causing tension with Havana. The shootdown resulted in the deaths of four men, marking a low point in U.S.-Cuba relations. This investigation could reopen old wounds and impact current diplomatic relations.
