Castro Criticizes Posada Bail Ruling

HeadlineApr 11, 2007

Cuban President Fidel Castro is condemning a U.S. court ruling allowing the jailed Cuban militant Luis Posada Carriles to post bail. Posada is connected to the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed 73 people. He’s being held not on terrorism charges, but for naturalization fraud and making false statements. The Bush administration has refused to extradite Posada to Venezuela or Cuba to stand trial for the airline bombing. In a statement, Castro said the Bush administration is allowing “the liberation of [a] monster.”
