Reply #3: As far as I can tell, he was born in Cuba, and lived there till he was 30

or so. Calling him Cuban seems reasonable to me - it looks like he only left because Castro came to power, and he got Venezuelan citizenship for convenience. I'd like to see him extradited to Cuba, too, though Venezuela will do.

Luis Posada Carriles, who was born in Cuba but is a Venezuelan citizen, is reported to be hiding in the US.

Posada Carriles, 72, was arrested at a Panama hotel on Friday ...

Posada Carriles left Cuba after Castro's 1959 revolution. He participated in the disastrous 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion and arrived in Venezuela from Miami in 1967 to work in this South American nation's intelligence service.

By the early 1970s, Posada Carriles had obtained Venezuelan citizenship and become the nation's chief of police intelligence operations, largely with the help of the CIA (news - web sites). He helped direct government strategy against leftist guerrillas in Venezuela but was fired in 1975 after clashing with then President-elect Perez. He then created his own security company in Venezuela.
