Officials contradict remarks by Carter (Carter miffed by U.S. bio-weapons statement)
*** Carter suggested Monday that Bolton's statement about biological weapons in Cuba was aimed at embarrassing him during his visit.
"These allegations were made, maybe not coincidentally, just before our visit to Cuba," he said.***

Cubans sent to Nicaragua say U.S. is final destination*** MANAGUA - The tattoo etched into the smooth underside of Javier Pérez's right arm reads ''U.S.A.'' -- the land of his dreams. Over each letter is a permanent reminder of why this one-time Cuban soldier got on a raft and tried to make it to Miami: round, cigar-sized burn scars that he described as the handiwork of Cuban state security. Pérez never made it to Miami, but on his last try he was picked up by the U.S. Coast Guard and transferred to Guantánamo Bay naval base. The Nicaraguan government recently agreed to give residency to Pérez and 19 others who were some of the last Cubans left living on Guantánamo. But here in Nicaragua, these exiles say they are not satisfied and won't be until they make it to the United States.***
