Not A Swap Gunboat Return Deal With Cuba
The State Department said Cuba will return an Eastern Airlines Electra and the U S will hand over a hijacked Cuban patrol vessel next Tuesday. Officials described the arrangement as not a swap, noting legal due processes would have necessitated returning the airliner anyway. The deal appears as a trade with Cuba sending crews to Key West to pick up the patrol boat and the U S sending a crew to Havana to return the airliner the same day. The Electra is valued at about 3.2 million dollars, and its hijacking on July 24 led to the release of 32 passengers and five crew members while the hijacker remained in Cuban custody.
