U.S. arrests suspect in terror attacks on Cuban plane, hotels. — Wow..this is an interesting development…
The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday detained anti-Castro militant and alleged bomber Luis Posada Carriles, blunting criticism — much of it from Havana — that the United States was harboring a dangerous fugitive even as it wages a war on terrorism overseas.
Federal agents took Posada into custody about 1 p.m. as he prepared to leave the country. Federal authorities did not say why they arrested Posada, but he was detained after withdrawing his petition for political asylum in the United States.
The move came as Cuba ratcheted up the pressure on the U.S. government, holding a massive march in Havana on Tuesday in which hundreds of thousands of people hit the streets to demand the U.S. arrest Posada, a former CIA operative accused of being involved in the 1976 bombing of a Cubana jetliner off the coast of Barbados in which 73 people were killed.
We will see what the US does with the guy. Somehow I doubt dubya’s anti-terrorist stance extends to cuba.
Now you’re being unfair. dubya’s just misunderstood. He simply wants every man woman and child to worship him as their god.
All praise dubya – 9 out of 10 savior’s when surveyed select dubya as president.
Amazing they can find Cuba’s Public Enemy numero uno but not Mr. Laden… Maybe The FBI should be renamed Policia Popular de Cuba or something 😉
Sending anyone to Cuba is a waste of time unless its to wage war.
