Cuba is reacting to the U.S.
Indictment of former Cuban leader Raul Castro.
He's accused of several crimes, including murder.
It's in connection with the downing of two civilian planes 30 years ago that killed four people.
They were part of a Cuban exile group who were guiding migrants at sea.
NPR's Ryan Lucas says Cuba rejects how that incident is being described.
Cuba's president in a post on X called this indictment a political move.
He says there's no legal basis for it.
And he accused the U.S.
Of trying to fabricate things to justify a military move against Cuba.
He also accused the U.S.
Of lying about what happened in 1996. He said Cuba acted in legitimate
self-defense after repeated violations of its airspace.
And he also says the U.S.
Government at the time had been warned about those violations
