Florida issues arrest warrant for former Cuban leader Raul Castro

Florida has issued an arrest warrant for 95-year-old Raul Castro over his alleged role in the 1996 downing of two unarmed aircraft. State Attorney General James Uthmeier said Castro faces state charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. The aircraft, affiliated with the Florida-based group Brothers to the Rescue, were shot down on February 24, 1996, killing Carlos Costa, Pablo Morales, Mario de la Peña and Armando Alejandre Jr. US authorities say the planes were over international waters and received no warning; Cuba says earlier flights by the group had violated its airspace.
