In Somalia, the U.S. is facing accusations it killed two Cuban doctors
during a recent airstrike targeting the militant group al-Shabab. The
Cuban doctors had been kidnapped by al-Shabab five years ago. They had
been serving in Kenya as part of a program where Cuba sends medical
professionals across the globe to help improve access to healthcare. The
doctors have been identified as Assel Herrera Correa and Landy Rodríguez
