U.S. officials consider removing Castro regime from terror list
U.S. officials are considering removing Cuba from a list of state sponsors of terrorism, even as Cuban allies continue to launch military attacks and trade for weapons.
As part of President Barack Obama’s announcement in December that he would normalize relations with Cuba, Obama instructed Secretary of State John Kerry to review Cuba’s terror designation and issue a report in six months.
While reports indicate that the administration is leaning toward removing Cuba from the terror list, such an action would conflict with the Cuban regime’s support for Colombian militants, Iran, and North Korea.

Colombia’s military intercepted a shipment of Russian-made anti-aircraft rockets last week that were headed to the FARC, according to regional reports
“...Additionally, Cuba attempted to ship Soviet-era MiG-21 fighter jets, air defense systems, missiles, and command and control vehicles to North Korea in 2013....”
After the Chavez regime took over Venezuela they invited Castro’s secret police, the DGI, into the country to terrorize Cuban exiles living in Venezuela.
Thanks Kaslin.
