The 1976 bombing of a Cubana jetliner that was blown out of the sky off the coast of Barbados, which killed 73 people on board. Venezuelan courts acquitted Posada twice and he escaped from a prison while awaiting a third trial. Posada last week denied involvement in the bombing. Venezuela is seeking his extradition.

But outgoing Panamanian President Mireya Moscoso pardoned Posada and the others.
