Anti-Posada demonstration in Miami called off after confrontation
The Associated Press
MIAMI - Protesters demanding the arrest of Luis Posada Carriles called off a planned demonstration in the Little Havana neighborhood after they were confronted by supporters of the anti-Castro Cuban militant.
A group of women from the anti-war group Codepink had planned to discuss with reporters their campaign against Posada, who is free after a judge dismissed the government's charges that he lied to investigators in a bid to become a naturalized U.S. citizen.
About 15 Codepink activists were met in front of a Little Havana restaurant Saturday by some 200 supporters of Posada, who is wanted by the Cuban and Venezuelan government on charges that he plotted the deadly 1976 bombing of a Cuban jetliner while in Caracas.
Several of the Posada supporters charged at the activists' truck, which carried a photo of Posada and a sign reading "Wanted by the FBI: Luis Posada Carriles for terrorism." Some people tried to tear down the poster, while others shouted insults. The truck then drove away.

Besides his bloodthirsty attack on the airliner, which also slaughtered the Cuban fencing team, and medical students from Guyana, and children, he worked for the CIA, and in Iran-Contra, as well as moving to Venezuela where he served as the head of Venzuela's secret police, and has been identified by victims as the one who had them tortured. (Now he claims he is scared that Venezuela just might torture him! (Guilty conscience.))
