U S denies Cuban charges over ICAO downing report
The State Department dismissed Cuban claims that U S pressure swayed ICAO to fault Cuba for the February downing of two Miami based planes over international waters.

The U S seeks U N Security Council condemnation and reparations for the four victims.
