Cuba's President Fidel Castro said the four Cuban exiles accused in Panama of plotting to assassinate him would not be executed if they were extradited back to the communist-ruled island for trial.
The Cuban leader gave the public assurance to counter what he said was intense U.S. government pressure to prevent the four, who include at least three U.S. citizens, from being sent to Cuba, where they are wanted for "terrorism" offences.
"If they were tried here (in Cuba) ... they would receive neither the capital sentence nor prison sanctions of more than 20 years," Castro, 74, said in a speech in Havana after arriving home from a visit to Mexico. "We don't want revenge. We want justice," he said.
