Former Cuban President Raúl Castro has been charged in a U.S. indictment with murder and other crimes for his alleged role in the downing of two civilian aircraft operated by Miami-based exiles in 1996 off the coast of the Caribbean island. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the indictment in Miami on Wednesday. Castro is charged with murder and other crimes in connection with the shootdown of the two small, unarmed planes by Cuban military jet pilots off the coast of the island. It's not clear if Castro will ever set foot inside a U.S. courtroom as he remains in Cuba. But Blanche says he's confident that Castro will be prosecuted.
