Threatened Indictment of Raúl Castro Ratchets Up US Pressure on Cuba The simmering tensions between Cuba and the United States have reached a boiling point.
Reports have emerged that Raúl Castro, the country's 94 year old former president, may face indictment over his alleged involvement in the 1996 downing of two small planes belonging to the Cuban exile group Brothers to the Rescue.
This development is part of Washington's bid to bring about regime change in Havana.
