Bosch Wanted For Questioning

Federal authorities have issued a warrant for the
arrest of Dr. Orlando Bosch, a Cuban who once received a 10-year sentence
for using the telegraph to threaten other nations and for firing a makeshift
cannon at a Polish ship off MacArthur Causeway.
The warrant, issued by the U.S. Parole Board in
Washington early in July, is for the technical violation of Bosch's parole,
which still has four years to run. But authorities say they also want to
question Bosch about a number of terrorist actions which he admitted in
an interview last month.
The 48-year-old former pediatrician turned revolutionary
was released from the federal prison in Marion, Ill., Dec. 15, 1972 after
serving four years. He kept a steady monthly date with parole officers
in Miami through June of this year, but failed to keep his July 1 appointment.
"WE BASICALLY would like to know where Mr. Bosch
is," his parole officer said. "We don't know where he is and that is not
supposed to happen."
In an interview with the Cuban exile magazine Replica,
early in July Bosch is quoted as saying he was in Venezuela, where he is
expected to launch a last-ditch effort to fight Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
Bosch, according to the interviewer, admitted that
his organization, Accion Cubana, had committed a number of terrorist activities.
