Posada Carriles and Four Decades of Terror

By KATIA SIBERIA GARCIA

The man who isnbt on the US most wanted list because of a supposed
"lack of evidence" is unmasked from his early days to the present by
Granma International journalist Jean-Guy Allard in his new book, Posada
Carriles, Four Decades of Terror, presented Wednesday at the
International Press Center in Havana.

Allard is a Canadian, who resides in Cuba, and is trained in "tracking
crimes and criminal profiling." Rather than presenting a biography on
the leading terrorist in the Western Hemisphere, Allard has brought
together interviews and conversations with Posada, declassified
documents and newspaper reports to reveal the long history of criminal
behavior of this notorious protC)gC)e of the US government and the CIA.

The trail begins with Posadabs pre-revolution days as a henchman for
the Batista dictatorship and maps out his role in the wave of
repression in Venezuela under the government of Carlos Andres Perez.
The book then documents Posadabs preparations in masterminding the 1976
mid-flight bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed all 73 people aboard
and continues with his involvement as a CIA agent in Central America
(Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras) during the 1980s. Allardbs
account ends in the streets of Miami, where Posada today enjoys
complete freedom.

Much of the information in the book was submitted by the US government
on different occasions and although some revelations were reported in
articles in the Washington Post and New York Times, the White House
never showed any interest in going after the terrorist, notes Allard.

During the presentation, Tubal Paez, president of the Association of
Cuban Journalists (UPEC), praised the meticulous investigative methods
used by Allard and honored a group of relatives of terrorism victims,
present at the book launch.
