And the weird case of the Hakkens:
Cuba returns two U.S. children who were abducted in Tampa; Hakken parents face charges. Hakkens apparently have no ties to Cuba, but they headed there because,
Cuba and the United States have not had a valid extradition treaty since the early days of the Castro revolution. Havana occasionally deports U.S. common criminals but shelters an estimated 70 U.S. fugitives it views as refugees from political persecution. Several Medicare fraudsters also have wound up in Cuba in more recent times.
Cuban authorities returned both children and their parents to the US yesterday. The parents are in jail, and the children are with their legal guardians, their maternal grandparents.
