Jimenez told a news conference he was only trying to "solicit public opinion" over claims that the US had been blocking all efforts to extradite Luis Posada Carilles, a former operative of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) wanted for the 1976 fatal bombing of a Cuban airliner.

Malacañang has not issued any official statement over the issue, a day after the Cuban government made the request to the Philippine government to help in the extradition of Cuban renegade Luis Posada Carriles from the US.

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), on the other hand, pointed out the need for a formal request from the Cuban government before taking any action.

Presidential Spokesman Ignacio Bunye said Malacañang has not taken any official position on the matter.

"The DFA is studying the matter carefully. We prefer that this be handled through diplomatic channels," he said.

Bunye claimed there was nothing unusual in the request of the Cuban government for the Philippines to assist in the extradition efforts against Posada from the US.

Cuban Ambassador Jorge Rey Jimenez told a news conference yesterday that Luis Posada Carriles fled to the US in 1985 while awaiting sentence in Venezuela for bombing a Cuban passenger airplane.

Jimenez said Posada is wanted for bombing several tourist destinations in Cuba and for the planned assassination of Cuban President Fidel Castro and Panamanian students during the Ibero-American summit held in Havana in 2001.

Posada, a Cuban national, came to international attention when he sought political asylum in the United States only on April 13, 2005. He managed to sneak into the US through the Mexican border.
