El terrorista cubano Posada Carriles liberado de una prisión de Nuevo México
Una nueva etapa se abre en un caso que marca una gran brecha en la forma en que EE.UU. otros países ven el terrorismo internacional. Luis Posada Carriles salió bajo fianza la semana pasada de una prisión de Nuevo México. Posada estuvo detenido por cargos de inmigración, pero muchas personas querrían verle juzgado por terrorismo en relación con el atentado de 1976 de un avión cubano, que mató a 73 personas con una bomba.

A new phase has opened in a case that highlights a major gap in how the US and many others view international terrorism. Luis Posada Carriles walked out of a New Mexico jail last week, free on bail. Posada was being held on immigration charges. But most people who know his name want to see him tried for terrorism.
Posada is the anti-Castro Cuban militant connected to the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed 73 people. He is a former CIA operative who has worked for years to bring down the Cuban government. He has been detained in the U.S. on immigration charges since he snuck into the country in 2005. The U.S. has refused to extradite him to Cuba or Venezuela.
On Sunday Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez accused the U.S. of protecting international terrorism and said he would take the case to UN. Cuba has also renewed calls for Posada's extradition. This is Cuban National Assembly president Ricardo Alarcon.

Posada is now in Miami ahead of his immigration trial next month. Last week Posada's attorney Louis Fernandez argued Posada's past is irrelevant to his status today.
