Venezuela Asks UN to Compel U.S. to Extradite Terror Suspect

By Bill Varner

Sept. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuela asked the United Nations to compel the U.S. to extradite terrorism suspect Luis Posada Carriles to face charges that he planned the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed 73 people.

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro Moros used a Security Council meeting on terrorism to seek the extradition of Posada Carriles, who is in U.S. custody on unrelated immigration charges. President Hugo Chavez has threatened to cut diplomatic ties with the U.S. unless Posada Carriles, a Cuban-born citizen of Venezuela, is turned over to Venezuela to face trial.

``The only way to get rid of the scourge of terrorism is to combat it in a truthful manner, however it seems as though for Mr. Bush and the U.S. government that there are good terrorists and bad terrorists,'' Maduro said. He said the U.S. is guilty of ``hypocrisy and double standards'' in the war on terror.
