Cuban President Fidel Castro blasted the U.S. "war on terrorism" as "hypocritical" at a May Day rally as he accused the United States of harboring a Cuban exile suspected of terrorism and called for his extradition.
Castro blames Luis Posada Carriles, a CIA-trained explosives expert, for the 1976 bombing of a Cuban civilian airliner that killed all 73 people aboard, and a wave of bomb blasts in Cuban hotels that killed an Italian tourist in 1997. Posada, 77, recently entered the U.S. and is seeking asylum.
