CUBA, April 20, 2007.- Cuban National Peoples Power Assembly (Congress) President Ricardo Alarcon termed a fraud the alleged legal process against terrorist Luis Posada Carriles in the United States. "The whole thing was a trick to not try him in that or another country," Alarcon told reporters after attending on Thursday the 2nd National Art Teachers Workshop. "The White House know it would be a trial against President George W. Bush and his father, who was CIA chief when Posada blew up a Cuban airplane in 1976," said the Cuban legislator. That killed 73 people, and Alarcon reminded that Posada Carriles also killed in Washington former Chilean Foreign Minister Orlando Letelier. Since May 2005, the United States has been denying to try him as terrorist, noted the Cuban leader after saying that the northern country is obliged to extradite him to Venezuela, Cuba to try him for those violent actions. Local television dedicated its broadcast Roundtable program to analyze Posada Carriles release, in which several panelists termed the action an act of cynicism by the White House. Meanwhile, several regions of the island have been stages of demonstrations against the decision of freeing Posada Carriles, as those carried out Thursday in front of the US Interest Section in Havana, and in Bayamo, over 435 miles from the capital.
