US accused of 'terror hypocrisy'

Venezuela has said the US will be guilty of double standards on terrorism if it does not extradite a Cuban exile wanted over the bombing of a plane. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said the man, Luis Posada Carriles, was "a self-confessed terrorist". He said the US had no choice but to send him back to Venezuela, where he escaped from jail two decades ago. Venezuela wants the man to stand trial over the bombing of the Cuban plane in 1976 that killed 76 people.
