Fidel Castro: US Domination
Experiencing Worst Crisis in
History
Cuban leader Fidel Castro stated
Tuesday that US imperial
domination of Latin America and
the Caribbean is experiencing
its worst crisis, and a solution
to overcome it doesn't seem to
be in sight. Bush Knows Posada
Carriles´ Whereabouts
While addressing the victims of
terrorist acts against the
Island, the families of five
Cubans imprisoned in the US for
fighting against terrorism, and
authorities and representatives
from different institutions and
sectors, the President stated
that the causes for such a
crisis are well known.
"It is important for our people
to know them and think of them,"
he added.
The Head of State then read a
series of articles questioning
the ethics of the US
administration, which remains
silent about the presence in
that country of notorious
terrorist of Cuban origin Luis
Posada Carriles.
In the last two weeks Fidel
Castro has several times
denounced the presence of this
sinister personage in Miami,
where he is seeking political
asylum in the United States.
Along with Gaspar Jimenez, Pedro
Remon and Guillermo Novo, Posada
Carriles attempted to kill the
Cuban President during the 10th
Ibero-American Summit in Panama
(late 2000).
Arrested thanks to the
denunciation made by Fidel
Castro himself, the four men
were sentenced by a Panamanian
court, but were pardoned in
August by the outgoing president
President Mireya Moscoso.
Further evidence indicated the
arbitrary pardon was granted
after high US officials and some
Miami-based terrorist groups of
Cuban origin pulled strings.
Since then, Posada Carriles had
vanished from public record,
until he recently reappeared in
Miami to request asylum from the
US authorities.
Posada Carriles is responsible
of many terrorist actions
against Cuba, including the
explosion of a civil plane in
Barbados airspace in October
1976, killing 73 people.
