Terrorist Luis Posada Carriles Planned to Attack Cuban Book Fair

Radio Cadena Agramonte

Havana, Feb 13.- New evidence shows that Luis Posada Carriles planned to carry out violent actions during the International Book Fair Cuba 2012, Cuban-Guatemalan writer Percy Alvarado said in Havana on Saturday.

When presenting his book "Luis Posada Carriles: Un Engendro Incondicional de la CIA" (Luis Posada Carriles: An Unconditional Monster of the CIA), the ex agent Frayle of Cuba's State Security said that the monitoring of the enemy's activity showed that in a recent meeting between Posada Carriles, a well-known terrorist, and his accomplices, they planned the operation.

Alvarado noted that thanks to the immediate action of Cuban secret services, the plan and its possible media show were dismantled, as well as provocations planned in Havana and Santiago de Cuba prior to Pope Benedict XVI's visit in March.

Speaking to his audience at the fortress of San Carlos de la Cabaña, the main venue of the Havana Book Fair, Alvarado noted that among those who tried to carry out those violent actions were the Cuban-born terrorists Santiago Alvarez and Reinol Rodriguez. The latter is the chief of the armed group Alpha 66.

He added that those people are planning other actions to create a conflict between the United States and Cuba based on recent statements by Cuban-American Congresswoman Ileana Ross Lehtinen about the operation of the oil platform in deep waters in the Gulf of Mexico, a region shared by Cuba, the United States and Mexico.

That is why; there will always be an anonymous and modest hero like the five Cuban antiterrorist fighters unjustly held in U.S. prisons, whose release will depend on not yielding in the effort to denounce terrorism against Cuba and internalizing that anyone of us can be one of them.

The book on Luis Posada Carriles deals about the life and criminal record of this man on the payroll of the empire, in addition to being a solid denunciation of the plans funded and organized by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) against Cuba.

Little known and unpublished passages about Posada Carriles, the confessed organizer of the sabotage on a Cubana Airline plane in mid-flight in 1976, are combined in the book with other events of world relevance, such as his participation in Operation Condor, designed by the CIA during the period of Latin American dictatorships.

Lawyers Request the Extradition to Panama of Luis Posada Carriles and Other Terrorists

Panama, Jan 19 2012 (Prensa Latina) A request for the extradition of the terrorists of Cuban origin Luis Posada Carriles, Guillermo Novo, Pedro Remon and César Matamoros, and Panamanian Jose Hurtado, was filed on Thursday, said lawyer Silvio Guerra.

Those criminals tried to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro at the main hall of the University of Panama, where he was scheduled to speak at the end of an Ibero-American Summit. Hundreds of people would have died if they had succeeded.

In remarks to Prensa Latina, Guerra confirmed that they went today to the Fifth Court of the Criminal Circuit to file the official request of extradition of Posada Carriles and his accomplices and also request that the Foreign Ministry sends it to the US government.

That step has been possible because the Second Court confirmed the ruling of the Fifth Criminal Court through edict notifying eight years imprisonment for Posada Carriles and Jimenez; seven years for Novo Sampol, Remon and Matamoros and four years for Hurtado.

Such a court ruling, with an address by magistrate Secundino Mendieta, resolves the appeal filed by defense lawyers and plaintiffs in favor of the defendants. However, these sentences were not for possession of explosives to assassinate, an outstanding claim.

Guerra said he was aware that international extradition requests filed by Venezuela and Ecuador have also been registered and the United States has never agreed to them, but they will continue insisting.

The plaintiff, who appeared in the trial against the terrorists on behalf of student groups of the University of Panama, added that he is interested in registering the extradition request made by the Panamanian State on the grounds of its jurisdiction and through the Panamanian Foreign Ministry.

Guerra strongly criticized ex President Mireya Moscoso, who met this week with Posada Carriles in Miami, and wondered what can one expect from the person who pardoned people who were to perpetrate a massacre of her fellow country people, mainly students, at the main hall of the University of Panama.

Thirty Five Years of Impunity

Monument to the Martyrs of Barbados
Today, the Cuban people remember sadly what is called in the island "The Crime of Barbados."

On October 6th, 1976, a civilian airliner carrying Cuba's fencing team was blown up off the coast of Barbados.

The two intelectual directors of this hienoous crime were the U.S. C.I.A. and a fooot soldier of that evil organization called Luis Posada Carriles. The two have not paid for that monstrous crime.

Both George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama have given refuge and protection to Luis Posada Carriles under the worn out dictum that "he may be a terrorist, but he is OUR terrorist."

The hipocricy of the United States government is laid bare for everyone in the world to see.

Those who promote state terrorism pay a very heavy price. The bill came due for the United States on September 11, 2001.
