International Book Fair moves on to the Provinces

.The Havana phase of the 2012 Cuban International Book Fair ended on Sunday after the participation of over 270,000 people at various sites in the capital city, reported the Prensa Latina news agency.
.
Venezuela’s minister of Culture, Pedro Calzadilla, described the Cuban literary event as one of the most important cultural functions in Latin America, though he hopes to outdo the Cuban experience in his country.
.
The event in the Cuban capital resulted in sales of more than 600,000 titles, a figure that will continue to increase until the national event winds up on March 4 in the eastern city of Santiago de Cuba.

Terrorist Attack Planned
.
At the launch of his new book Luis Posada Carriles: An Unconditional Monster of the CIA at the show Cuban-Guatemalan writer Percy Alvarado released new evidence that Luis Posada Carriles planned to carry out violent actions during Book Fair.
.
Speaking to his audience at the fortress of San Carlos de la Cabaña, the main venue of the Havana Book Fair, Alvarado noted that among those who tried to carry out those violent actions were the Cuban-born terrorists Santiago Alvarez and Reinol Rodriguez. The latter is the chief of the armed group Alpha 66.
.
He added that those people are planning other actions to create a conflict between the United States and Cuba based on recent statements by Cuban-American Congresswoman Ileana Ross Lehtinen about the operation of the oil platform in deep waters in the Gulf of Mexico, a region shared by Cuba, the United States and Mexico.
.
That is why; there will always be an anonymous and modest hero like the five Cuban antiterrorist fighters unjustly held in U.S. prisons, whose release will depend on not yielding in the effort to denounce terrorism against Cuba and internalizing that anyone of us can be one of them.
.
The book on Luis Posada Carriles deals about the life and criminal record of this man on the payroll of the empire, in addition to being a solid denunciation of the plans funded and organized by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) against Cuba.
.
Little known and unpublished passages about Posada Carriles, the confessed organizer of the sabotage on a Cubana Airline plane in mid-flight in 1976, are combined in the book with other events of world relevance, such as his participation in Operation Condor, designed by the CIA during the period of Latin American dictatorships
