劳尔·卡斯特罗因1996年击落美国飞行员事件被起诉
佛罗里达州共和党参议员阿什利·穆迪在《周日美国之夜》节目中谈及，前古巴总统劳尔·卡斯特罗因与1996年击落两架民用飞机事件相关的谋杀和共谋指控被起诉，该事件造成四名美国飞行员遇难。

前古巴领导人劳尔·卡斯特罗于周五首次公开露面，此前特朗普政府以1996年击落一个古巴流亡团体运营的飞机事件为由，以谋杀罪起诉他。
据路透社报道，卡斯特罗在哈瓦那举行的内政部庆祝活动中出现在国家电视台上。
此次露面是在美国司法部公布起诉书数周后，该起诉书指控卡斯特罗参与了近30年前击落两架由总部位于迈阿密的流亡组织“拯救兄弟”运营的飞机事件。

周三刚满95岁的卡斯特罗上一次公开露面是在哈瓦那的五一庆祝活动期间，也就是起诉书公布的几天前。
在五一露面之前，卡斯特罗已经数月未公开露面，仅在1月份于古巴首都举行的一场纪念32名古巴士兵的公开仪式上现身，这些士兵在导致委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗被抓获的美国军事行动中阵亡。
起诉书聚焦于1996年2月的一起事件，据称古巴军用飞机击落了两架由“拯救兄弟”运营的 unarmed民用飞机，造成四人死亡：卡洛斯·科斯塔、阿曼多·阿莱杭德里 Jr.、马里奥·德拉佩尼亚和巴勃罗·莫拉莱斯。

检察官称，这些飞机在被击落时正飞行在古巴领土之外。
此次起诉书公布之际，加勒比地区局势日趋紧张，特朗普及其支持者发表了一系列言论，暗示可能对这个岛国实施政权更迭。
唐纳德·特朗普总统此前对起诉书表示赞赏，称在共产主义政权下遭受苦难的古巴裔美国人数十年来一直在等待追责。

“我们在古巴问题上有重大消息，正如你所知，卡斯特罗被起诉了，”特朗普说。“很多人遭受了非常巨大的、非常、非常严重的苦难，程度之深几乎无人能理解。”
特朗普还暗示，起诉后与古巴的紧张局势不会升级。
“不会升级，”他说。“我们不必这么做。”

尽管如此，起诉卡斯特罗的决定引发了人们将其与特朗普此前针对马杜罗的施压运动相比较。
“至少，这在象征意义上意味着，他现在的处境与尼古拉斯·马杜罗当时一样，”世界政治研究所古巴问题专家、前美国南方特种作战司令部顾问克里斯汀·鲍林此前告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
美国以贩毒恐怖主义罪名起诉马杜罗，同时加强对委内瑞拉石油行业的制裁，支持反对派将其赶下台的努力，并增加在加勒比地区的军事行动。
“我不认为我们一定会开展同样的行动，”鲍林说。“劳尔·卡斯特罗已经94岁了。可能不值得这么麻烦。”
不过，鲍林认为，起诉书传递了“一个非常明确的信息：我们百分之百支持推翻卡斯特罗政权”。

Raúl Castro indicted for 1996 shoot-down of American pilots
Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., discusses the indictment of former Cuban President Raúl Castro on murder and conspiracy charges tied to the 1996 shoot-down of two civilian aircraft that killed four American pilots on ‘Sunday Night in America.’

Former Cuban leader Raúl Castro made his first public appearance Friday since the Trump administration charged him with murder over the 1996 shoot-down of planes operated by a Cuban exile group.
Castro appeared on state television during an Interior Ministry celebration in Havana, according to Reuters.
The appearance came weeks after the Department of Justice unsealed an indictment accusing Castro of playing a role in the downing of two aircraft operated by the Miami-based exile organization Brothers to the Rescue nearly 30 years ago.
Castro was charged with conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals, destruction of aircraft and four counts of murder.

Castro, who turned 95 on Wednesday, was last seen publicly during May Day celebrations in Havana, days before the indictment was unsealed.
Prior to his May Day appearance, Castro had remained out of public view for months, appearing only at a public ceremony in Cuba’s capital in January honoring 32 Cuban soldiers killed during the U.S. military operation that led to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
The indictment centers on a February 1996 incident in which Cuban military aircraft allegedly shot down two unarmed civilian planes operated by Brothers to the Rescue, killing four men: Carlos Costa, Armando Alejandre Jr., Mario de la Peña and Pablo Morales.

Prosecutors allege the aircraft were flying outside Cuban territory when they were destroyed.
The indictment came amid rising tensions in the Caribbean and a series of comments from Trump and his surrogates hinting at possible regime change in the island nation.
President Donald Trump previously praised the indictment, saying Cuban Americans whose families suffered under the communist regime had waited decades for accountability.

“We have big news on Cuba, as you know, with the indictment of Castro,” Trump said. “A lot of people have suffered very big, very, very, at levels that few people would understand.”
Trump also suggested tensions with Cuba would not escalate following the indictment.
“There won’t be escalation,” he said. “We won’t have to.”

Still, the decision to indict Castro fueled comparisons to the pressure campaign Trump previously used against Maduro.
“At the very least, it means symbolically that he is now set up just as Nicolás Maduro was,” Christine Balling, a Cuba expert at the Institute of World Politics and former advisor to U.S. Special Operations Command South, previously told Fox News Digital.
The U.S. indicted Maduro on narco-terrorism charges while tightening sanctions on Venezuela’s oil sector, backing opposition efforts to remove him from power and increasing military operations in the Caribbean.
“I don’t think that we are necessarily going to conduct the same operation,” Balling said. “Raúl Castro is 94 years old. It might not be worth the trouble.”

Still, Balling argued that the indictment sent “a very straightforward message that we are 100% behind the fall of the Castro regime.”
