 HAVANA (AP) - Cuban university students symbolically tried Luis Posada Carriles on Monday, accusing the anti-communist warrior of teaming up with Washington to commit decades of terrorist attacks.
A four-judge panel of University of Havana law students were scheduled to hear 32 witnesses over two days before issuing a sentence — also symbolic — against the 79-year-old former CIA operative. Posada, who was born in Cuba, has dedicated most of his life to toppling Fidel Castro's communist-run government.
The verdict was not in doubt. The trial was organized by the Communist Party's youth wing and other pro-government groups, and there was no sign of anybody named to offer a defense of Posada.
