Panamanian pardons of would-be Castro assassins prompts Cuba to cut ties
Bernard Hibbitts at 8:35 AM ET

The government of Cuba has broken diplomatic relations with Panama after outgoing Panamanian president Mireya Moscoso (official website here) Thursday pardoned four Cuban emigres who had been charged with trying to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro at a summit held in Panama in 2000. Read the official press release on the pardons here (in Spanish). Three of the emigres have since been flown to the US, where they landed in Miami. AP has more. This morning's La Prensa has more from Panama (in Spanish). Radio Havana provides coverage from the Cuban perspective here (in Spanish).
