Cuomo in Cuba

When Gov. Cuomo heads to Cuba next month, there's something he should
demand from the Castro government: the return of fugitive terrorists.

Cuba today harbors some 70 American fugitives from justice, but we have
three particular ones in mind. Because each committed heinous crimes in
this area — and none has been held to account.
- Joanne Chesimard, aka Assata Shakur, a Black Liberation Army terrorist
convicted of the 1973 execution-style murder of a New Jersey state
trooper. In 1979, she fled to Cuba after escaping from prison.
- Guillermo Morales, chief bombmaker for the Puerto Rican terrorist
group FALN, responsible for scores of deadly New York attacks —
including the infamous 1975 bombing of Fraunces Tavern.
- Cheri Dalton, aka Nehanda Isoke Abiodun, wanted for a string of
"revolutionary" armored-car robberies. She allegedly drove the getaway
car in the 1981 Brinks robbery in Nyack, in which two police officers
and a guard were murdered.

President Obama has ordered the State Department to review Cuba's
designation as a state sponsor of terrorism.
But as Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) noted in recent letters to Secretary
of State John Kerry and FBI Director James Comey, our law provides for
such a designation when a country serves "as a sanctuary for terrorists
or terrorist organizations."
That fits Cuba.
We appreciate that Gov. Cuomo wants to be the first governor to cash in
on Cuba's trade dollars.
But if he really wants to serve New Yorkers, how about persuading Havana
that those wanted for shedding blood here need to be sent home to face
justice?
