I'm not entirely certain what to make of this, but I do find it interesting:
Cuba is deporting reputed drug kingpin Luis Hernando Gomez Bustamante to Colombia, which plans to extradite him to the United States, a government official told The Associated Press.
The Colombian official said Gomez was expected to arrive in Bogota on Thursday and would be held at its heavily fortified chief prosecutor's office compound before being extradited to the United States.
I know that in unofficial talks the US and Cuban governments have met to discuss issues of common concern such as drug trafficking and immigration, however, this seems different.
Bustamante had been in Cuba since 2004. Fidel Castro has handed power over to Raúl Castro. Now Bustamante is facing extradition and will likely face trial in the US. It seems hard to believe that this is coincidence.
