Israeli Police Discover Ring of Neo-Nazi Immigrants

israelnationalnews.com

Israel Police have uncovered a group of at least 20 neo-Nazis who immigrated
to Israel from the former Soviet Union under the Law of Return.

Police are not yet certain how to proceed, due to the lack of legal basis
for prosecuting Israelis espousing anti-Semitic ideology.

The neo-Nazi group was discovered following the arrest on drug charges of a
20-year-old IDF soldier. A swastika tattooed on his arm aroused police
suspicions, and neo-Nazi material was later discovered in his home.

Venezuelans Rally Today for Posada Carriles´ Extradition

Caracas, (Prensa Latina) — Thousands of Venezuelans are taking part Wednesday in a rally in front of the National Assembly to extradite Cuban-born terrorist Luis Posada Carriles to this Latin American nation.

Posada Carriles, fugitive from Venezuelan justice since 1985, is the mastermind behind the bombing of a Cuban jetliner in October 1976 that killed 73 people, as well as other murders, tortures and disappearances when he headed the Venezuela´s Political Police Unit of Special Operations.

The National Assembly approved on Tuesday a petition, which was proposed by "Podemos" party members Flores and Ismael Garcia.

On May 13, the Venezuelan government handed over Posada Carriles´ extradition request to the Legal and Extradition Office at the US Department of State, and so far, it has only confirmed receipt of the document.

The US immigration court in El Paso, Texas, will hold a hearing on June 13, to analyze charges of illegal entry to United States, without alluding the criminal´s terrorist actions.

Posada Carriles´ lawyer Eduardo Soto and other rightwingers in South Florida are pressing to have him release on bail and bring the legal proceedings to a Miami court.

Watergate Scandal's "Deep Throat" Reortedly Comes Clean

A former
FBI official claims he was "Deep Throat," the long-anonymous source who leaked secrets about President Nixon's Watergate coverup to The Washington Post, Vanity Fair reported Tuesday.

W. Mark Felt, 91, who was second-in-command at the FBI in the early 1970s, kept the secret even from his family until 2002, when he confided to a friend that he had been Post reporter Bob Woodward's source, the magazine said.

"I'm the guy they used to call Deep Throat," he told lawyer John D. O'Connor, the author of the Vanity Fair article, the magazine said in a news release.
