The State Department on Friday removed Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. The decision was expected following a review earlier this year. In a statement, the department said it still has significant concerns and disagreements with a wide range of Cuba's policies. But the department found that Cuba has not provided any support for terrorism in the last six months and has provided assurances that it will not do so in the future.
