In New York, a judge has sentenced a Puerto Rican nationalist who hijacked a plane from New York to Cuba in 1968 to 15 years in prison. Luis Peña Soltren, 67, remained in Cuba until 2009, when he returned home to plead guilty. His attorney James Neuman criticized the length of the sentence.

James Neuman: “There was about, I think, 18 or more hijackings to Cuba in the year 1968, and while it was a dangerous crime obviously, it was not considered in the same manner that we do today in 9/11 as an apocalyptic crime.”
