I don’t know about this, but apparently, President Barak Obama does. The U.S. State Department announced that Cuba had been removed from the blacklist of state sponsors of terrorism – a list the currently has Syria, Iran and Sudan on it – in accordance with a request from the President on April 14. The request included “the certification that Cuba has not provided any support for international terrorism during the previous six-months; and that Cuba has provided assurances that it will not support acts of international terrorism in the future,” according to a State Department in a released statement. Cuba has made it a priority that they be removed off of the list, calling their presence on the list “unfound”.
