Luis Posada Carriles Gives Interview to Miami Herald

HeadlineMay 17, 2005

The Miami Herald has confirmed that the wanted Cuban militant Luis Posada Carriles is inside the United States. He snuck into the country in March and is seeking political asylum. Both Cuba and Venezuela have called for the Bush administration to extradite him to face terrorism charges in connection to the bombing of a commercial airliner in 1976. During an interview with the Miami Herald, Posada denied any role in the bombing–which was the first case of airline terrorism in this hemisphere. But recently declassified documents from the CIA and FBI, indicate he attended at least two planning meetings for the attack.
