CUBA: One million Cubans marched in Havana yesterday demanding Washington extradite an accused Cuban airliner bomber who emerged from hiding in Miami, highlighting a dilemma for Washington in its war on terrorism.
Luis Posada Carriles, who slipped into the United States two months ago from Mexico, emerged from hiding yesterday and was later taken into federal custody in Miam.
Venezuela has previously asked the Bush administration to deport Mr Posada - who has Venezuelan citizenship - to face trial for the 1976 bombing of a Cuban plane that killed 73 people.
Mr Posada denied the charges in a Miami Herald interview.
The presence in the US of Mr Posada, a former CIA collaborator and longtime anti-communist activist, has presented US authorities with the dilemma of how to reconcile its sympathy for politically influential Cuban exiles with Washington's firm stance against terrorism suspects after the September 11th, 2001, attacks.
