ST GEORGE’S, Grenada (CMC)—Cuba on Wednesday condemned “in the strongest terms” what it described as the despicable accusation by the United States Department of Justice against former president Raúl Castro.

Washington announced criminal charges against the 94-year-old brother of revolutionist Fidel Castro, in what political observers say is the latest escalation of tensions between the two countries.

Raul is reportedly charged with conspiracy to kill US nationals, destruction of an aircraft, and murder, alongside several other defendants listed in the indictment.
