Maine Woman Sues Fidel Castro In Father's Death
BELFAST (AP) -- A woman from Stockton Springs has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
Sherry Sullivan contends Castro caused the death of her father, Geoffrey Sullivan, a pilot who she says was shot down over Cuba and imprisoned in 1963 while on a covert mission.
Sullivan filed her lawsuit in May in Superior Court in Belfast, but the judge delayed action until last week while considering how to serve papers to the defendants, who also include Castro's brother Raul, the Cuban army and the Republic of Cuba.
Mills finally sent a Spanish translation of the suit to Cuba by registered mail, but has yet to receive proof of its delivery to the parties named.
The suit says Castro and his co-defendants are liable under a 1996 law that allows victims of states that have been identified as sponsors of terrorism to sue for damages.

I hope Castro sends her something...like an "I LOVE CUBA" t-shirt or a copy of Sicko.

The only thing crazy is that she waited so long. If the suit is served, I believe a US Court will hear the case and decide if she can have some of Castro's confiscated phatLootz.
