Nicaragua Wants Posada Extradited
The Nicaraguan government is currently
formalizing an extradition request to Cuban-born
terrorist Luis Posada Carriles before US
authorities, Foreign Minister Samuel Santos
stated.
According to the Nicaraguan diplomatic head, the
petition will be based on terrorist actions
Posada Carriles committed during the CIA covert
war against the Sandinista Revolution in the
80s.
The decision to try him on Nicaraguan territory
was announced by President Daniel Ortega, after
the criminal was released on bail by a US
federal judge.
Posada Carriles, responsible for the mid-air
explosion of a Cuban airplane with 73 people on
board in 1976 and other terrorist actions
against the Caribbean island, was charged and
acquitted with migratory fraud in United States.
