Cuban Leaders Say U.S. Faces "Hell" If They Interfere
Matthew Borghese - All Headline News Staff Writer Havana, Cuba (AHN) - Cuban leaders are warning the United States against any interference in the possible transition within Havana after the death of President Fidel Castro. The U.S., however, has increased its television transmissions to Cuba, and has said it would help fund those working for change, on and off the communist island. Cuban Parliament Speaker Ricardo Alarcon led the charge against American involvement in any regime change, saying the U.S. would face "hell" if it interfered. A letter by "400 leftist intellectuals and human rights activists" to state-run media demanded "that the government of the United States respect Cuba's sovereignty. We must prevent a new aggression at all costs." While the U.S. has denied talk of an invasion, President George Bush has said "Our desire is for the Cuban people to choose their own form of government."
