Nicaragua seeks extradition of Posada Carriles

Nicaragua’s government will seek the extradition of suspected bomber Luis Posada Carriles after he was released from U.S. federal custody yesterday. “This is a completely rash action, which contradicts the United States' anti-terrorist policy,” said Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega on the decision to allow Posada Carriles to post bond and fly to Miami where he will go on trial on immigration fraud charges.

The governments of Venezuela and Cuba might seek further legal action against Posada Carriles whom they accuse of masterminding the bombing of a Cuba airliner in 1976 that killed 73 people.
