Cuban ambassador in Venezuela, Rogelio Polanco, recently denounced the protection given by the U.S government to terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, who is responsible for the blowing-up of a Cuban airplane with 73 passengers on board.

Posada Carriles continues walking freely down the streets of the United States, where he is being tried, in a complete farce, for lying while entering that country, warned the ambassador.

According to the diplomat, the terrorist -a fugitive from Venezuelan justice- is still active and represents a threat, due to the criminal skills acquired in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

“In spite of his age, he is still an active terrorist and has recently appeared linked to some of the most notorious terrorists who’re still living there and remain unpunished,” stated the diplomat in an interview given to Venezolana de Television TV channel.

In his statement, Polanco pointed out that the terrorist attitude of Posada Carriles was recently corroborated by one of his accomplices, Salvadoran Francisco Chavez Abarca, who is under arrest for his alleged participation in the planting of bombs in tourist facilities of Havana 13 years ago.

Since 2005, the Venezuelan government has been demanding the extradition of Posada Carriles, a request ignored by Washington.
