A leading American, independent investigative institution wants the outgoing Barack Obama-administration to finally release still secret documents, under the country’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), related to the surviving mastermind of the 1976 twin-bombing of the Cubana Airliner.
The unique organisation – the National Security Archive (NSA) – “founded in 1985 by journalists and scholars to check rising Government secrecy” is calling for officials “to declassify all remaining intelligence records” on Miami-resident, Cuban-born Luis Posada Carriles, who is free and ailing at 88.
In a statement on its website, the NSA said such action “would shed light on his activities, provide historical evidence for his victims, and offer a gesture of declassified diplomacy towards Cuba.”
