The notice relives the 1996
destruction of two US-registered civilian aircraft in airspace north of
the island of Cuba. Cuba insisted upon its right to defend its sovereignty
against US-registered vessels or aircraft entering Cuban territorial
waters or airspace even if involved in a flotilla or peaceful protest, the
Notice text reads
In 2004 the
President expanded the emergency status and denied monetary and material
support to the Cuban government after Cuba threatened to interfere with
US/Cuba accords governing migration from the island and threatened the US
Interests Section on the island.
The sanctions
are continued.
Cuba
continues to hold that the US intends to invade the island.
