U.S. Arrests Exile Hours After Cuban March |
2005-05-18 |
Fidel Castro led hundreds of thousands of Cubans past the U.S. mission Tuesday to demand the United States arrest a Cuban exile sought in the bombing of an airliner, accusing Washington of hypocrisy in its war on terror. Hours later, U.S. officials confirmed the militant was in custody. The Department of Homeland Security said it detained Luis Posada Carriles on Tuesday, after the longtime Castro opponent granted interviews to TV stations and The Miami Herald for the first time since surfacing in the United States two months ago. Posada, a former CIA operative and Venezuelan security official, is wanted in the 1976 bombing of the Cuban airliner that killed 73 people. Cuba's Parliament speaker welcomed the news of Posada's detention, but questioned why the U.S. government took so long. |

#1 Wanna deal, Fidel? How about giving up some of these "freedom fighters"? Or is "hypocrisy" a one way street?
