WASHINGTON, December 6.Another conspiracy could be being plotted in the U.S. city of Miami, where the hearing of the case of Santiago Alvarez, benefactor of terrorist Luis Posada Carriles is scheduled for today, Prensa Latina reports.
Despite the evidence presented by the prosecution, the defense is maneuvering to get the accused, owner of the motorboat that illegally brought Posada Carriles to U.S. territory in March this year, released on bond.
Moreover, anti-Cuban organizations and extremist groups based in the United States have announced a campaign on behalf of the accused presumed terrorists Alvarez and Osvaldo Mitat, charged with illegal possession of weapons and false documents.
According to analysts, a conspiratorial atmosphere has been activated in Miami to get the charges dropped against the accomplices of Carriles, whom the U.S. authorities have refused to extradite to Venezuela.
The hearing of Alvarez, aged 64, and Mitat, 63, was scheduled for today at the end of November.
Federal agents found a freezer containing automatic weapons, grenades and a silencer aboard the accused boat and also seized gas masks, munitions and a false Guatemalan passport.
Both of the accused were part of the crew of the Santrina, which picked up Posada Carriles from Islas Mujeres, Mexico last March.
Meanwhile the influential New York Times has published a notice calling on the U.S. authorities not to grant refuge to the terrorist Posada.
The call was made by a group of relatives and friends of the victims of the sabotage of the Cubana passenger plane in 1976.
Should the United States give refuge to an international terrorist? the Families of Victims Committee asks via that page.
