Envoy to Cuba Recalled in Dispute Over Exiles
From Times Wire Reports
Panama recalled its ambassador from Cuba after Havana threatened to break off relations in a dispute over four anti-Castro Cuban exiles.

The four were convicted of endangering public safety and sentenced in April to prison terms of seven to eight years.
