A court in Texas has allowed confessed terrorist, albeit known as a "militant" in the American press, Luis Posada Carriles to walk free on bail. The American government refuses to extradite him to either Cuba or Venezuela citing concerns as to whether Sr. Posada would receive a fair trial. (They must be worried that he is being extradited to the Guantánamo Bay Beach and Leisure Resort!) Both countries wish to try him on charges related to the bombing of a Cuban plane in 1976 in which 73 people, mostly Cuban and Venezuelan, died.
In a more recent development Nicaragua has announced that they plan to seek Posada's extradition hoping that a trial in a more neutral country would be acceptable to the US. I rather doubt it.
