Luis Posada Carriles

Luis Posada Carriles was a Cuban-born former CIA operative involved in anti-Castro activities. He is best known for orchestrating bombings and terrorist acts targeting Cuba and its allies during the 1960s and 1970s. His actions led to several deaths and injuries, and he remained a controversial figure due to allegations of international terrorism. Despite numerous arrests and legal proceedings, Posada avoided long-term imprisonment and was often defended by some groups as a fighter against Castro’s government. His life exemplifies Cold War-era covert operations, but his actions have been widely condemned as acts of terrorism.
