US seeks indictment of former Cuban leader Raul Castro

The United States is planning to indict former Cuban President Raul Castro over a 1996 incident in which Cuba shot down planes flown by the anti-Castro humanitarian group. This move comes as pressure on the island's communist government increases, particularly due to a US blockade that has halted nearly all fuel supplies. Castro, seen as the most powerful figure in Cuba, could face charges that would require grand jury approval.
