HTTP://WWW.STOPNATO.ORG.UK --------------------------- It will be interesting to see how the U.S responds
to this. They have been supporting
and harbouring this admitted assassin and terrorist
for years. If they refuse to co-operate,
they will be in
violation of their own anti-terrorist resolution that they got the U.N to agree
to! Of course, it
won't be the first time that the U.S has been in violation of U.N resolutions
or international
law, but this was their own resolution! Don't hold your breath on Posada
ever being brought to justice.

Subject: [CubaNews] Venezuela seeks Posada extradition some Panamanian troublemakers who'd been jailed in Cuba as their excuse for not extraditing Posada to Cuba. What will they do now that Venezuela, who had already legitimately jailed him after a trial and conviction and under a regime of which Washington could not disapprove??? =================================== GRANMA December 26, 2001 Venezuela initiates extradition procedures for terrorist Posada Carriles CARACAS.- According to an official statement, the Venezuelan government has formally requested the extradition from Panama of terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, among whose crimes was planning the explosion of a Cubana airliner in 1976, killing all 73 persons on board. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Luis Alfonso D�vila indicated that his office had delivered the extradition request to the Panamanian authorities in Venezuela, after that request had been authorized by the Supreme Court of Justice in November. D�vila recalled that Posada Carriles has been a fugitive from Venezuelan justice since 1985, when he escaped from jail in that country while serving time for homicide and the fabrication of weapons of war. "Luis Posada Carriles fled the San Carlos Garrison [in Venezuela] on September 8, 1982, where he was being held. On that occasion he was captured and brought before the courts once again, but he managed to escape [again] on August 18, 1985," D�vila said. Panama has rejected Posada Carriles’ extradition to Cuba, following his arrest in Panama in November 2000 during the 10th Ibero-American Summit held in that country. At that time, President Fidel Castro revealed, with clear evidence, that Posada Carriles was in Panamanian territory and was preparing an assassination attempt on the Cuban president which could have resulted in the deaths of Panamanian authorities and thousands of students at a university rally. Posada Carriles is now under arrest, along with two other terrorists, for their participation in the plot. ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://TOPICA.COM/u/?a84x2u.a9WB2D Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================ |
