Why has US charged Cuba's Raul Castro with murder? • FRANCE 24 English

The ​United States announced murder charges against former Cuban President Raul Castro on Wednesday, a major escalation in Washington's pressure campaign against the island's communist government. The charges stem from a 1996 ‌incident in which Cuban jets shot down planes operated by a group of Cuban exiles. France 24's Philip Turle takes a look at the allegations against Castro and why the charges have come now, three decades after the event.
