MIAMI (AP) — The family of an
American killed by a Cuban firing squad
in 1-961 filed a wrongful-death lawsuit in
hopes of winning financial damages un­
der a 5-year-old federal law.
“I’m angry,” Bonnie Anderson said
in announcing the lawsuit Friday with
her mother, sister and two brothers.
“W e’re all older than he was when he

was killed.”
The AnJersons moved to Cuba in
1947, but most of the family left in 1960
after the Cuban revolution. At the time,
Howard Anderson stayed behind to run
the family’s service stations.
In 1961, he was accused of smug­
gling arms into Cuba. His trial started on
the same day as the Bay of Pigs invasion
by Cuban exiles backed by the United
States, and Anderson was executed
two days later. He was 41.
A Swiss diplom at who attended the
trial said the prosecutor was “flinging
him self about like a m adm an and pas­
sionately dem anding the death sen­
tence” even though the crim e carried
a maximum nine-year sentence, the
lawsuit said. A nti-aircraft fire and air
raid sirens could be heard in the court­
room.
The lawsuit in state court is based on
a U.S. law that allowed the families of
three U.S. fliers killed when their planes
were shot down over Cuba in 1996 to
recover $97 million in Cuban funds from
frozen U.S. accounts.
The Cuban government will be served
with a copy of the new lawsuit through
diplomatic channels, said Fernando
Zulueta, the Andersons’ attorney. He
said he hoped the case could come to
trial in four to six months.

WASHINGTON (AP)— Anthrax found in
a letter mailed to Chile is not the same as the
strain discovered in letters received in the
United States, investigators said last Wednes­
day. Officials at the Centers for Disease Con­
trol and Prevention were not sure whether the
anthrax specimen they tested came from the
letter mailed to a Chilean doctor or if it was
contaminated by the Chilean lab that per­
formed the initial tests.
The anthrax found in New York, Washing­
ton, New Jersey and Florida has been linked to
the same Ames strain.
The Chilean lab has anthrax on its premises
and could have contaminated the specimen
during the testing process, before it was sent
totheCDC.
U.S. officials have not examined the letter
itself, which remains in Chile, but hope to,
Skinner said.
CDC officials, who planned to continue
working with Chilean health authorities, want
to compare the Chilean laboratory’s previ­
ously existing strain of anthrax with that be­
lieved found on the letter. A match would
suggest that positive tests for anthrax re­
sulted from contamination inside the lab.
The Swiss Federal Police Office said the
letter was part of a large mailing sent on behalf
of a Florida company by the New Y ork branch
of the Swiss Post Office.
Swiss Post International Inc. provides
worldwide bulk mailing services for compa­
nies. Under U.S. rules, letters sent within the
country by international post offices m ust.
carry a foreign postmark.
