Justice Department Indicts Castro in 1996 Plane Shootdown
Description
The U.S. Justice Department plans to indict Raúl Castro, former Cuban defense minister, for his role in the 1996 shootdown of two Brothers to the Rescue planes. This incident, which resulted in the deaths of four people, was a response to the groups flights near Cuban airspace. The U.S. government at the time accused Cuba of terrorism. The situation is complex, with the exile group provoking Cuba, the U.S. not fully stopping the flights, and Cubas military response.
