Posada is wanted by the governments of Cuba and Venezuela to face trial on a charge that he plotted the 1976 bombing of a Cuban jetliner. But a federal immigration judge who ordered Posada out of the United States ruled he could not be sent to either country.

Several countries have rejected U.S. requests for Posada to be sent there.
