Kuba Flugzeugbomber war CIA Agent
Stephan Fuchs - Am 6. Oktober 1976 wurde ein kubanisches Passagierflugzeug mit 73 Passagieren in die Luft gesprengt. Deklassiffizierte US Dokumente zeigen nun, dass einer der hauptverdächtigen für die CIA arbeitete. Luis Posada Carriles, ein in Kuba geborener Venezolaner und Anti- Castro Aktivist war Informant und Agent für die Geheimdienstbehörde.
Guter Terrorist weil amerikanisch
Das Massaker wurde in Caracas von Luis Posada Carriles und Orlando Bosch Avila organisiert, zwei venezolanische Söldner, Hernán Ricardo Losano und Freddy Lugo, brachten den Sprengstoff in dem Flugzeug an. Es handelte sich um das Flugzeug CUT-1201, das seine Reise in Georgetown, der Hauptstadt Guayanas, begonnen hatte und von Barbados aus nach Jamaica und dann nach Havanna weiterfliegen sollte. Der Anschlag kostete 73 Menschen das Leben. Zu den Passagieren gehörten die 24 Mitglieder der kubanischen Jugend-Fechtnationalmannschaft, die gerade in Caracas die Goldmedaille bei den Spielen Mittelamerikas und der Karibik gewonnen hatte. Unter den Passagieren befanden sich auch 15 Mitglieder einer anderen Flugzeugbesatzung von Cubana, die aus Barbados kamen.
Luis Posada, der jede Mittäterschaft bestreitet, beantragt nun Asyl in Amerika. Seine Anwälte sagen, ihm müsse die US Protektion zugestanden werden, da ihr Klient viele Jahre im Dienste des Landes gestanden habe. Pasoda versteckt sich möglicherweise in Miami. US Vertreter hingegen meinen, sie hätten keine Beweise dafür, dass sich Pasoda in Amerika aufhalte und sie würden ein Asylgesuch von ihm nicht anders behandeln als das eines anderen.
Die Dokumente, veröffentlicht vom George Washington University National Security Archive, beweisen indes, dass der 70 Jährige Posada über die Jahre 1960 – 1976 auf der Gehaltsliste der CIA stand. Jener Dienst, der in diesen Jahren alles daran setzte Fidel Castro zu eliminieren.
Eines der FBI Dokumente zitiert eine nicht genannte Quelle, die behauptet Pasada sei einer derjenigen gewesen, der sich mindestens zweimal in einem Hotel in Caracas traf, um den Bombenanschlag auf die Passagiermaschine zu besprechen. Die amerikanische Bundespolizei habe aber nichts unternommen, um ihre Quelle zu schützen.
CIA Verbindung
Der CIA Mann Posada wurde nach dem Bombenanschlag in Venezuela verhaftet, konnte aber noch vor der Gerichtverhandlung fliehen. Die CIA rettete ihn mit Unterstützung der Kubanisch-Amerikanischen Nationalstiftung aus dem angeblichen Hochsicherheitsgefängnis. Die Dokumente zeigen, dass er sich nach Südamerika absetzte, wo er sich den Verdeckten Operationen der Amerikaner anschloss. Die dortigen Operationen standen unter Oliver North, dem Oberst beim Nationalen Sicherheitsrat Ronald Reagans, dem die wieder Bewaffnung der Antikommunistischen Contra Guerilla unterstellt war.
Posada, kaum zu glauben, brüstete sich gar, verantwortlich für eine Serie von Bombenanschlägen auf touristische Ziele in Castros Hauptstadt Havana in den 90er Jahren zu sein. Vor fünf Jahren wurde er in Panama unter dem Verdacht verhaftet sich an einem Mordkomplott gegen Fidel Castro beteiligt zu haben. Nach kurzer Zeit wurde er erstaunlicherweise vom abtretenden Präsidenten Panamas begnadigt. Die kubanische Regierung wirft nun der amerikanischen Regierung mit Recht vor, einem Terroristen Unterschlupf zu bieten. Dies könnte für die Bush Regierung zu einer heiklen Entscheidungsfrage werden.

THE CIA CONNECTION
Luis Posada Carriles had a long relationship with the CIA. In February 1961, he joined the CIA's Brigade 2506 to invade Cuba, although the ship to which he was assigned never landed at the Bay of Pigs. While in the U.S. military between 1963 and 1965 the CIA recruited him and trained him in demolitions; he subsequently became a trainer of other paramilitary exile forces in the mid 1960s. CIA documents posted below reveal that he was terminated as an asset in July 1967, but then reinstated four months later and apparently remained an asset until 1974. The documents also show that he remained in contact with the Agency until June 1976, only three months before the plane bombing.
Document 1: CIA, October 13, 1976, Report, "Traces on Persons Involved in 6 Oct 1976 Cubana Crash."
In the aftermath of the bombing of Cubana flight 455, the CIA ran a file check on all names associated with the terror attack. In a report to the FBI the Agency stated that it had no association with the two Venezuelans who were arrested. A section on Luis Posada Carriles was heavily redacted when the document was declassified. But the FBI retransmitted the report three days later and that version was released uncensored revealing Posada's relations with the CIA.
Document 2: FBI, October 16, 1976, Retransmission of CIA Trace Report
In this uncensored version of the CIA trace report, the Agency admits that it "had a relationship with one person whose name has been mentioned in connection with the reported bombing," Luis Posada Carriles. The CIA file check shows that Posada was "a former agent of CIA." Although it doesn't say when his employment began, it indicates he was terminated briefly in the summer of 1967 but then reinstated in the fall and continued as an asset while a high level official in the Venezuelan intelligence service, DISIP, until 1974. Even then, "occasional contact with him" continued until June 1976.
Document 3: CIA, June 1966, File search on Luis "Pozada"
In this file search the CIA states that Posada has "been of operational interest to this Agency since April 1965," the likely date when he first became a paid CIA agent.
Document 4: FBI, July 18, 1966, "Cuba"
An informant reports to the FBI that Posada is a CIA agent and is "receiving approximately $300.00 per month from CIA."
Document 5: CIA, April 17, 1972, Personal Record Questionnaire on Posada
This "PRQ" was compiled in 1972 at a time Posada was a high level official at the Venezuelan intelligence service, DISIP, in charge of demolitions. The CIA was beginning to have some concerns about him, based on reports that he had taken CIA explosives equipment to Venezuela, and that he had ties to a Miami mafia figure named Lefty Rosenthal. The PRQ spells out Posada's personal background and includes his travel to various countries between 1956 and 1971. It also confirms that one of his many aliases was "Bambi Carriles."
EARLY TERRORIST PLOTTING
During the time that Posada was on the CIA payroll in the mid-1960s, he participated in a number of plots that involved sabotage and explosives. FBI reporting recorded some of Posada's earliest activities, including his financial ties to Jorge Mas Canosa, who would later become head of the powerful anti-Castro lobby, the Cuban American National Foundation.
Document 6: FBI, July 7, 1965, "Luis Posada Carriles"
The FBI transmits information obtained from the CIA's Mexico station titled "Intention of Cuban Representation in Exile (RECE) to Blow up a Cuban or Soviet Vessel in Veracruz, Mexico." The document summarizes intelligence on a payment that Jorge Mas Canosa, then the head of RECE, has made to Luis Posada to finance a sabotage operation against ships in Mexico. Posada reportedly has "100 pounds of C-4 explosives and detonators" and limpet mines to use in the operation.
Document 7: FBI, July 13, 1965, "Cuban Representation in Exile (RECE)"
A FBI cable reports on intelligence obtained from "MM T-1" (a code reference to the CIA) on a number of RECE terrorist operations, including the bombing of the Soviet library in Mexico City. The document contains information on payments from Jorge Mas Canosa to Luis Posada for an operation to bomb ships in the port of Veracruz, as well as a description of Posada and a statement he gave to the FBI in June of 1964.
Document 8: FBI, May 17, 1965, "Roberto Alejos Arzu; Luis Sierra Lopez, Neutrality Matters, Internal Security-Guatemala"
The FBI links Posada to a major plot to overthrow the government of Guatemala. U.S. Customs agents force Posada and other co-conspirators to turn over a cache of weapons that are listed in this document. The weapons include napalm, 80 pounds of C-4 explosives, and 28 pounds of C-3 explosives.
BOMBING OF CUBANA FLIGHT 455
Document 9: FBI, October 7, 1976, Secret Intelligence Report, "Suspected Bombing of Cubana Airlines DC-8 Near Barbados"
In one of the very first reports on the October 6, 1976, downing of Cubana Flight 455, the FBI Venezuelan bureau cables that a confidential source has identified Luis Posada and Orlando Bosch as responsible for the bombing. "The source all but admitted that Posada and Bosch had engineered the bombing of the airline," according to the report. The report appears to indicate that the Venezuelan secret police, DISIP, were arranging for Bosch and Posada to leave Caracas, although this section of the document has been censored.
In the report, the FBI identifies two Venezuelan suspects arrested in Barbados: Freddy Lugo and Jose Vazquez Garcia. Vazquez Garcia is an alias for Hernan Ricardo Lozano. Both Ricardo and Lugo worked for Luis Posada's private security firm in Caracas at the time of the bombing.
Document 10: FBI, November 2, 1976, Secret Intelligence Report "Bombing of Cubana Airlines DC-8 Near Barbados, West Indies, October 6, 1976"
The FBI receives information from a source who has spoken with Ricardo Morales Navarrete, a Cuban exile informant working for DISIP in Caracas. Known as "Monkey" Morales, he tells the FBI source of two meetings during which plotting for the plane bombing took place: one in the Hotel Anauco Hilton in Caracas, and another in Morales room at the Hilton. Both meetings were attended by Posada Carriles. A key passage of the report quotes Morales as stating that "some people in the Venezuelan government are involved in this airplane bombing, and that if Posada Carriles talks, then Morales Navarrete and others in the Venezuelan government will 'go down the tube.' He said that if people start talking 'we'll have our own Watergate.'" Morales also states that after the plane went down, one of the men who placed the bomb aboard the jet called Orlando Bosch and reported: "A bus with 73 dogs went off a cliff and all got killed."
Document 11: FBI, November 3, 1976, Cable, "Bombing of Cubana Airlines DC-8 Near Barbados, West Indies, October 6, 1976"
The FBI reports on arrest warrants issued by a Venezuelan judge for Posada, Bosch, Freddy Lugo and Ricardo Lozano.
ORLANDO BOSCH AND ANTI-CASTRO TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS
Document 12: FBI, January 24, 1977, Secret Report, "Coordination of United Revolutionary Organizations (CORU) Neutrality Matters - Cuba - (Anti-Castro)"
The FBI reports on a plot to carry out terrorist attacks that will divert attention from the prosecution of Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada in Caracas. Orders for the attacks are attributed to Orlando Garcia Vazquez, a Cuban exile who was then head of the Venezuelan intelligence service, DISIP. (Garcia Vazquez currently lives in Miami.) The report also provides some details on CORU.
Document 13: FBI, August 16, 1978, Secret Report, "Coordinacion de Organizaciones Revolucionarias Unidas (Coordination of United Revolutionary Organizations) (CORU), Neutrality Matters - Cuba - (Anti-Castro)"
This FBI report provides a comprehensive overview of CORU which the FBI describes as "an anti-Castro terrorist umbrella organization" headed by Orlando Bosch. The report records how CORU was created at a secret meeting in Santo Domingo on June 11, 1976, during which a series of bombing attacks were planned, including the bombing of a Cubana airliner. On page 6, the report relates in great detail how Orlando Bosch was met in Caracas on September 8, 1976, by Luis Posada and other anti-Castro exiles and a deal was struck as to what kind of activities he could organize on Venezuelan soil. The document also contains substantive details on behind-the-scene efforts in Caracas to obtain the early release of Bosch and Posada from prison.
IRAN-CONTRA AND POSADA (A.K.A. RAMON MEDINA)
Document 14: September 2, 1986, Contra re-supply document, [Distribution of Warehoused Contra Weapons and Equipment - in Spanish with English translation]
After bribing his way out of prison in Venezuela in September 1985, Posada went directly to El Salvador to work on the illicit contra resupply operations being run by Lt. Col. Oliver North. Posada assumed the name "Ramon Medina," and worked as a deputy to another anti-Castro Cuban exile, Felix Rodriguez, who was in charge of a small airlift of arms and supplies to the contras in Southern Nicaragua. Rodriguez used the code name, Max Gomez. This document, released during the Congressional investigation into the Iran-Contra operations, records both Posada and Rodriguez obtaining supplies for contra troops from a warehouse at Illopango airbase in San Salvador.
