FLORIDA BRINGS MORE CHARGES AGAINST FORMER CUBA PRESIDENT RAUL CASTRO

What happened: Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a state charge of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder against former Cuban President Raúl Castro over the 1996 downing of two civilian planes flown by Miami-based exiles. Key numbers: Castro is 95. The downing occurred on Feb. Why it matters: Uthmeier said the arrest warrant restricts Castro's travel to countries with U.S. extradition agreements, though it is unclear whether he will appear in a U.S. courtroom. Cuba's President Miguel Díaz-Canel rejected the charges.
