Joe was 9 years old when his father was killed, and for decades he devoted his life to restoration of justice for his father and other victims. He is the author of the movie “Destroyed Life: Overcoming Terror in Taver Fraunsa”, which is now also documentary. Connor, together with other families, elected officials and law enforcement agencies, led a mission to bring terrorists to justice.
No one has never been charged with attack, but a man who is considered the main manufacturer of a bomb of a terrorist group, Willie Morales, escaped Cuba, where he lived with about 50 other refugees from the United States. A Bill in Congress Named after the father of Joe and the NJ Werner’s Father Werner Ferster, who was killed by the Black Liberation Army, Joana Chemard, also known as Asset Shakur, who is also in Cuba, requires the refugee to return.
“This is a very short and understandable bill that requires a refund,” says Connor. “There was some mysticism about the regime of the Castro and Che Gueva, some fantastic romantic look at these people. But they were nothing more than Marxist bandits and waged their own war with the United States for many, many years. “

US Secretary of State Mark Rubio called For Cuba cough the criminals who remain on the lum.
“There are refugees from American justice, including police killers and others who are actively accepted in Cuba and protected by the Cuban regime from the long -handed US justice. So, I have no doubt that they meet all the qualification requirements of the state-sponsor of terrorism, ”Rubio said.
Over the past two decades, Faln members have been pardoned as if they had diminished their crimes. President Barack Obama softened the 70-year verdict of Oscar Lopez River, who was convicted of rebellion and accused of other crimes. President Bill Clinton suggested a pardon by a prisoner of a terrorist group that eleven in 1999.

Joe noticed how they gathered at the door, where a bomb was laid in a ten -pound dynamite.
“Cuba must eventually issue these people, and the only way to happen is to keep them on the list of state sponsors and continue pressure on Cuba,” he says. “It’s a moment to do it.”
