PRESIDENT Fidel Castro last night charged the US government of conniving with terrorism, by protecting and concealing information on the sabotage of a Cuban aircraft off the coast of Barbados on October 6, 1976."

The day after that criminal act, the FBI and the CIA were aware of those who masterminded and perpetrated the attack, according to a document that the Cuban leader read out during his special presentation this Thursday.

One of 14 declassified texts circulated two days ago by the George Washington University National Security Archive notes that a FBI source in Caracas quoted the names and circumstances of the planning of the crime.

"The source stated that he was sure that Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch were the masterminds behind the sabotage of the aircraft," Fidel emphasized, and he also mentioned the names of the mercenaries Hern�n Ricardo and Freddy Lugo, who placed the device in the plane in an act of terrorism that cost 73 lives.

Finally, he read out an article by the lawyer Jos�Pertierra published in the Cuban newspaper Juventud Rebelde, in which he demonstrates that the US president has to account for itself in the case of Posada Carriles, who illegally entered US territory some weeks ago.

He stated that the US media and that of other countries have almost unanimously acknowledged that Luis Posada Carriles is a terrorist.
