EL PASO, Texas — A federal appeals court has ordered Cuban militant Luis Posada Carriles to stand trial in El Paso on immigration fraud charges.
A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled Thursday that Posada, an aging anti-Castro militant, should stand trial on charges that he lied to federal authorities in his bid to become a U.S. citizen.
The criminal case against Posada was dismissed last year when U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone ruled that the government engaged in trickery and deceit by using a naturalization interview to build a case against Posada.
Posada is a Cuban-born citizen of Venezuela wanted in the South American country on charges that he orchestrated the 1976 bombing of a Cuban jetliner. He's currently free, pending deportation, in Miami.
