The boulder has started its journey down the hill. Anybody who will try to stop it, is bound to perish. Now one after the other, more and more Satanic networks committing crimes against humanity, may get exposed. Raymond Davis case may prove to be a prelude to it. That is why Allah (SWT) says that verily the move made by HIM is the best:

Cuba sentences US contractor to 15 years in prison
Updated at 0730 PST Sunday, March 13, 2011
HAVANA: Cuba on Saturday sentenced US contractor Alan Gross to 15 years prison for distributing laptops and cellular phones to the island's Jewish community -- a move Washington decried as "another injustice."
Cuba's Popular Provincial Tribunal found Gross responsible for "acts against the independence or territorial integrity" of the country, according to a statement read on state-run television news.
Gross, 61, was working under contract for the US State Department when he was arrested in late 2009 for distributing the electronic devices to members of the communist-run island's small Jewish community.
"Today's sentencing adds another injustice to Alan Gross's ordeal," said National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor in Washington.
"He has already spent too many days in detention and should not spend one more. We urge the immediate release of Mr Gross so that he can return home to his wife and family," Vietor said.
In their ruling, the Tribunal took into consideration information showing "direct participation of the US contractor in a subversive project by the United States government to try to destroy the revolution," the Cuban statement read.
During the trial, the defendant "acknowledged that he had been used and manipulated" by the US Agency for International Development, which financed Gross's company, the statement read. (AFP)
