Mexican Senate vs. Posada Release MEXICO, April 26, 2007.- The Mexican Senate exhorted the government on Friday to speak out against the unjustified release in the United States of terrorist Luis Posada Carriles. A unanimously approved agreement in the Senate urges the Foreign Affairs Ministry to send a diplomatic note to Washington urging respect of UN accords on terrorism. The note says the US Congress must honor the Venezuelan extradition request to present Posada Carriles to that nation s court. It mentions the murder of 73 people in the explosion in mid air of a Cuban airplane in 1976, perpetrated by Posada Carriles, "who is also responsible for other terrorist actions against Cuba and other Latin American nations." It is said that this man was also involved in the mercenary attack on the Cuban Bay of Pigs, the 1997 bomb attacks in Havana hotels, in which an Italian tourist was killed, and an assassination attempt against President Fidel Castro. The text states that Posada Carriles violated all Mexican laws when he illegally entered in 2005 in the US and used our country as a stepping stone to get to that northern country." (Cubaminrex-PL)
