Raúl Castro indicted for murder

Raúl Castro indicted for murder

In a historic move, federal prosecutors have charged Raúl Castro with the murder of four U.S. citizens killed when Cuban MiGs destroyed two unarmed civilian aircraft nearly 30 years ago.

The indictment is part of a broader Trump administration effort to ramp up pressure on the Havana regime, drawing comparisons to the campaign against Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro.

Republican lawmakers are now calling on the U.S. military to apprehend Castro and bring him to justice.

The move has sparked massive pro-regime rallies in Havana as tensions between the two nations reach their highest point in decades.
