Thousands of people in Cuba have taken part in a rally in the capital, Havana, to honour the victims of the bombing of a Cuban airliner in 1976.

The demonstrators called for the trial of a prominent Cuban exile, Luis Posada Carriles, on charges of terrorism in connection with the bombing.

Mr Posada has long denied involvement in the attack, in which seventy-three people were killed.

Earlier this month, he was detained in Panama on suspicion of involvement in a plot to assassinate the visiting Cuban president, Fidel Castro.
