1:16Now PlayingThe Justice Department has brought charges against Cuba’s former president, Raúl Castro. The Cuban government rejects the indictment and says its a pretext for military action against the country.
Castro is charged with conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals, destruction of aircraft and murder. The indictment alleges that Castro authorized the 1996 downing of two small aircraft operated by the Miami-based exile group Brothers to the Rescue. Four people were killed, including three American citizens.
