The Florida prosecutor's office has obtained a state arrest warrant for former Cuban President Raúl Castro. Signed by a Miami judge based on sufficient evidence, the warrant charges Castro with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.
The charges stem from the 1996 downing of two United States light aircraft belonging to a humanitarian organization. Castro, who served as Cuba's minister of the Revolutionary Armed Forces at the time of the incident, was also formally indicted by the U.S. federal judiciary in May.
