The US has housed terrorists' at the UN, Cuban Deputy Ambassador Ernesto Sobron Guzmán rejected Washington's claims that Havana poses a national security risk, calling them "absurd" and noting that Cuba has never threatened the US. His words follow a familiar pattern: the US accuses without evidence, while its record tells a different story. The "terrorist" the Cuban diplomat refers to is Luis Posada Carriles; A CIA-trained operative involved in the 1976 bombing of Kuban Flight 455, which killed 73 people. Posada escaped from a Venezuelan prison, worked with Oliver North in supplying arms to the Nicaraguan contras, and admitted to the New York Times that she orchestrated the 1997 Havana hotel bombings that killed Italian tourist Fabio Di Salmo. He lived freely in Florida until his birthday, never facing justice for his crimes.
