The Venezuelan government has formally requested the extradition of Cuban-born militant Luis Posada Carriles for his alleged role in a 1976 airliner bombing that killed 73 people. Posada was arrested in Miami last month and has been held in a U.S. detention center in El Paso, Texas, since then. He faces charges of illegal migration. At a hearing Monday in El Paso, Texas, where Posada is being held, his lawyer asked that the immigration case be moved to Florida. The Venezuelan request asks that the extradition request take precedence over the immigration charges. We’ll have more on this in a moment.
