Prosecutors Appeal Posada-Carriles Ruling

jm
(CBS4) An appeal has been filed against a Texas judge's dismissal of an immigration fraud case against anti-Castro militant Luis Posada Carriles.

Last month, a U.S. District judge in El Paso ruled that the government manipulated a naturalization interview with Posada Carriles.

Posada, a former CIA operative who is now living in Miami, still faces a civil deportation order connected to allegations that he sneaked into the U.S. illegally from Mexico in 2005.

Posada is wanted in Venezuela, where he is a naturalized citizen, and Cuba, where he was born, on charges that he plotted the deadly 1976 bombing of a Cuban jet. Posada has denied the allegations.
