Today's update begins with an interesting event reflecting the broader (and rapid) deterioration in US-Cuban relations in the early 1960s...
International History
1960 - French freighter 'La Coubre' explodes in Havana, Cuba killing 100. Fidel Castro blames the US.
1987 - President Ronald Reagan addresses the nation on the Iran-Contra affair, acknowledging his overtures to Iran "deteriorated" into an arms-for-hostages deal.
1993 - Authorities announce the arrest of Mohammad Salameh, who is later convicted of playing a key role in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City.
