National Security Archive: Documents link Luis Posada Carriles to 1976 Cubana Airlines bombing - International Herald Tribune: "SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico: A newly unearthed document links Luis Posada Carriles, a prominent anti-Castro Cuban, to the 1976 mid-flight bombing of a Cuban airliner and other attacks, a respected U.S. research institute said Thursday.
The document is a handwritten surveillance report of Cuban targets in Barbados, Colombia, Panama and Trinidad, written by Posada's employee Hernan Ricardo Lozano. The report notes that a Cubana Airlines flight arrived in Barbados every Wednesday from Trinidad.
That flight was blown up on Wednesday, Oct. 6, 1976, killing all 73 people aboard, including Cuba's Olympic fencing team. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has repeatedly demanded that the United States extradite Posada, who is under house arrest in Miami on an immigration violation, to Venezuela for trial for the airline bombing."
