Cuba Calls US Anti-Terror Campaign Cynical

GENEVA, March 14, 2007.- The Cuban representative at the UN Human Rights Council said Wednesday that the US campaign against terrorism is false and cynical, reported Prensa Latina.

Rodolfo Reyes Rodriguez referred to statements by US delegate Velia de Pirro made statements in response to the speech the day before by Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque at the high level segment of the H.R. Council.

Reyes stressed the impunity enjoyed by Florida-based terrorist groups that operate against Cuba. He cited the protection given to Luis Posada Carriles, mastermind of the in-flight sabotage of a Cubana Airlines plane that killed all 73 persons aboard.

A host of terrorists, including Posada Carriles, were trained and financed by successive US administrations and the CIA participated directly in assassination plots against Cuba’s president, said Reyes.

The Cuban representative at the Human Rights Council also recalled previous CIA support of Al Qaeda leaders some of whom it now pursues. (Cubaminrex- PL)
