Fidel Castro demands the United States arrest most wanted Venezuelan terrorist

Cuban president Fidel Castro accused US government of hosting Luis Posada Carriles, accused of numerous terrorist actions in Cuba, and suspected to have been involved in the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Therefore, Castro called for a mass protest in Havana next Tuesday, before the US Interests Session.

Former senior officer of the Venezuelan intelligence service, Luis Posada Carriles, accused five years ago of plotting to kill Fidel Castro during a summit in Panama and planning the bombing of a Cubana Airlines airplane in 1976, is believed to be hiding somewhere in Miami, trying to get asylum in the US.

While US officials say they cannot confirm Posada being harbored in Miami area, his lawyer, Eduardo Soto said that his client, now 77, has crossed border to Mexico last month and his asylum request is based on his past work with the CIA and his long opposition to Fidel Castro.

Posada might have been a CIA agent in the 1960s and has been working alongside a few groups based in the Dominican Republic planning Fidel Castro's overthrow.
He had always denied his involvement in the 1976 bombing which killed 73 people.
Accusations for plotting a series of bomb attacks on Havana tourist spots in the 1990s led to his later arrest.

Both Cuba and Venezuela will formally submit requests for his extradition, as they regard Posada Carriles as terrorist.
