U.S. HARBORS CUBAN TERRORISTS IN MIAMI
Spend thirteen minutes to listen to this report on
DEMOCRACY NOW IN EXILE in which a fully-
detailed explanatation is given of the role of
Orlando Bosch Avila in the terrorist bombing of
of a Cubana airliner in 1976. State Department
opposition to permitting Orlando Bosch Avila
was overcome by political pressure from rightist
Cuban exiles and he was permitted to enter the
United States. The report was broadcast today
on KPFA in Berkeley and on the internet as well.
The interview includes information on Otto Reich,
currently nominated to a high State Department
post by the Bush administration. Otto Reich was
the American ambassador in Caracas in 1998
who pressed to have Orlando Bosch Avila given
permission to re-enter the United States.
=====================================
AS BUSH FIGHTS SO-CALLED
WAR ON TERRORISM ABROAD,
U.S. HARBORS CUBAN TERRORISTS IN MIAMI
As the Bush Administration wages its so-called war
against terrorism, US officials have said repeatedly
that the US may attack any country harboring or
supporting terrorists and that there is no statute
of limitations when it comes to prosecuting them.
This weekend was the 25th anniversary of another
act of terrorism - the bombing of a Cuban jetliner
carrying nearly 100 people, including Cuba's Olympic
medal winning fencing team. The men responsible
for that act of terrorism were Cuban exiles trained by
the CIA. Their story, and their connection to
US officials, tells us a lot about the priorities of the
Bush Administration and the US government when
it comes to fighting terrorism.
Guest:
Wayne Smith, Center for International Policy
and a leading expert on Cuba.
