Posada may face extradition to Panama

Luis Posada Carriles, a former CIA operative hailed as a hero in Miami and reviled as a terrorist in Cuba and Venezuela, could face extradition to Panama. Panama's Supreme Court said Tuesday it had overturned presidential pardons for 180 people, including Posada Carriles and four associates. Panamanian courts ruled there was not enough evidence to try the four on charges of attempted murder of Fidel Castro, but sentenced them for endangering public safety. Former President Mireya Moscoso granted pardons to Posada, Gaspar Jimenez, Guillermo Novo and Pedro Remon.
