A court in the US state of Florida has issued an arrest warrant for former Cuban leader Raul Castro, NBC News reports.
Raul Castro is suspected in connection with the downing of two civilian aircraft in 1996, which resulted in the deaths of four people.
Court documents indicate that Castro may have been involved in a conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in connection with the incident.
It should be noted that the incident occurred on February 24, 1996. During the incident, which has been linked to Raul Castro, who was Cuba's defense minister at the time, Cuban military aircraft shot down two civilian planes belonging to the organization "Brothers to the Rescue," which was searching for migrants fleeing the country at sea, killing four people.
The US claimed that the aircraft were in international airspace, while Cuba maintained that they had violated the country's airspace.
