Venezuela Requests World Support for Posada Carriles Extradition

CUBA, April 24, 2007.- Venezuela asked multilateral organizations and governments of the world for support of its extradition request against Luis Posada Carriles, the notorious terrorist recently released on bail by US authorities.

"Venezuela calls for the mobilization of the international public opinion and nations, as well as for the energetic action by governments and multilateral organizations to not allow that impunity favors the terrorists and their promoters", read a communiqué issued by Caracas, Granma daily reports.

The message issued by the Venezuelan authorities ratifies the immediate extradition of the dangerous criminal. The release of Luis Posada Carriles was the result of a maneuver by the George Bush administration to protect him, and with it, Washington promotes impunity and openly offends the memory of the victims of a sabotaged Cubana airliner in 1976.

The message reads that "the complicity action is aimed at buying the silence of Posada Carriles who, was a long-time CIA agent and a key man for the Bush clan."

Meanwhile, the Venezuelan government will take the Posada release case to the Wednesday session of the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS). (Cubaminrex-ACN)
