EL PASO, Texas (AP) - A businessman from Guatemala is set to testify in the perjury trial of an elderly ex-CIA agent, discussing a fax about 1997 bombings in Havana.
Tony Alvarez was born in Cuba and once linked romantically to a relative of ex-Cuban President Fidel Castro.
But he moved to Guatemala City where he met Luis Posada Carriles (loo-EES' poh-SAH'-duh cah-REE'-lehs).
The 83-year-old Posada faces charges of perjury, obstruction and immigration fraud. He is a longtime anti-communist militant and worked for the CIA until 1976.
