Cuba may be taken off America’s list of state sponsors of terrorism at any moment, ABC News has learned.
Sources familiar with the request tell ABC News that State Department is "way down the road" in its assessment of Cuba's status on the terrorism list. The State Department has not sent the paperwork to the White House yet, but officials expect it at any time.
Roberta Jacobsen, assistant secretary of state for western hemisphere affairs and the lead U.S. negotiator in Cuba talks, said recently the review of Cuba’s place on the list is “in advanced stages.”
Added to the terror list in 1982, Cuba is one of only four countries sharing that designation, including Iran, Sudan and Syria. To be on the list, it must be determined the country “repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism,” according to the State Department’s website.

In his book about the 1989 events culminating with the death by firing squad of Gen. Arnaldo Ochoa and Col. Antonio de la Guardia, Cuban writer Norberto Fuentes, at some time very close to the highest levels of the Castro government, mentions an old dream of Fidel Castro: to be the first to drop bombs in the U.S. territory so the Yankees (Castro calls all Americans “Yankees”) will suffer in their own home the same he suffered when Batista’s planes were bombing he and his men in the Sierra Maestra.
Castro’s words were a direct reference to a short letter Castro sent in June, 1958 (that is, six months before the triumph of his revolution) to Celia Sanchez, his secretary in the Sierra Maestra mountains. The letter was prompted by a rocket attack by American-built jet fighters of Batista’s air force on the house of Mario Sariol, a mountain villager who had collaborated with Castro’s Rebel Army.
