Cuban Minister for Foreign Affairs expressed its concern over Panamanian President Mireya Moscoso's indication that her country might not extradite four suspected assassins of Cuban leader Fidel Castro on the grounds that Cuba has the death penalty. Luis Posada Carriles and three other Cuban exiles were arrested in Panama after Castro exposed an assassination plot against him in November in Panama City. The Cuban Foreign Ministry said Cuba's judicial authorities formally promised in its extradition request that the four, if extradited, would not face capital punishment.
