Federal prosecutors in El Paso want a judge to block the potential public release of evidence in the perjury case against an aging anti-Castro Cuban militant.
Prosecutors want a protective order to prevent the public release of information that "potentially implicates the privacy, propriety, law enforcement, and other interests of third parties and foreign governments" in the case against Luis Posada Carriles.
Posada is accused of lying to U.S. authorities about his involvement in the planning of a series of 1997 bombings in Havana that killed an Italian tourist.
He is wanted in Cuba and Venezuela on charges that he plotted the deadly 1976 bombing of a Cuban jetliner. Posada denies any wrongdoing. |
