Cuba Offers Immediate Hijacker Exchange
Cuba’s foreign minister Raul Roa said Cuba would enter immediate agreement with the United States for reciprocal return of all hijackers with no exceptions. The offer followed the return of American hijacker Robert J. Labadie, 27, negotiated via U.S. channels and handed to U.S. authorities after being confined in a mental hospital. Roa’s statement signals a shift from prior reliance on third parties like Switzerland for hijacker deals.
