Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Posada Carriles Indicted on Fraud Charges

HeadlineJan 16, 2007

There is an update in the case of Luis Posada Carriles, the anti-Castro Cuban militant connected to the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed 73. The former CIA operative has been indicted in the United States — but not for carrying out acts of terrorism. He was indicted on one count of naturalization fraud and six counts of making false statements. He snuck into the United States in 2005 and then lied about how he entered the country. The Bush administration has refused to extradite him to Venezuela or Cuba to stand trial for the airline bombing.
