Summary

Former Cuban President Raúl Castro faces federal charges in the U.S. for the 1996 downing of two civilian planes, leading to three U.S. citizen deaths. The indictment alleges Castro, then defense minister, authorized the operation. The U.S. seeks accountability, but military action is unlikely. This escalation strains U.S.-Cuba relations.
