Cuban exiles hold memorial flotilla near Havana
Dozens of Cuban-Americans on nine boats held a memorial service in international waters off Havana to remember 41 Cubans who drowned trying to leave the island six years earlier. They also prayed for Elian Gonzalez, the 6-year-old found floating off Florida, as organizers called for international attention while reflecting sun mirrors toward Cuba.
