Venezuelans Rally for Posada Carriles´ Extradition
Thousands of Venezuelans are taking part Wednesday in a rally in front of the National Assembly to extradite Cuban-born terrorist Luis Posada Carriles to this Latin American nation.

Posada Carriles, fugitive from Venezuelan justice since 1985, is the mastermind behind the bombing of a Cuban jetliner in October 1976 that killed 73 people, as well as other murders, tortures and disappearances when he headed the Venezuela´s Political Police Unit of Special Operations.

The National Assembly approved on Tuesday a petition, which was proposed by "Podemos" party members Flores and Ismael Garcia.

On May 13, the Venezuelan government handed over Posada Carriles´ extradition request to the Legal and Extradition Office at the US Department of State, and so far, it has only confirmed receipt of the document.

The US immigration court in El Paso, Texas, will hold a hearing on June 13, to analyze charges of illegal entry to United States, without alluding the criminal´s terrorist actions.

Posada Carriles´ lawyer Eduardo Soto and other right wingers in South Florida are pressing to have him release on bail and bring the legal proceedings to a Miami court.
