CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - A lawyer representing the convicted terrorist
known as "Carlos the Jackal" is urging Venezuela's government to demand that
France return her Venezuelan-born client to his homeland.
Attorney Isabelle Coutant-Peyre says Venezuela should press for the
repatriation of Illich Ramirez Sanchez on the grounds that he was illegally
detained in Sudan in 1994 before he was convicted in 2011 for instigating
four bombings in France in 1982 and 1983 that killed 11 people and injured
more than 140 others.
Ramirez has previously been convicted for a triple murder in 1975. He is
serving two life sentences.
Coutant-Peyre told one of Venezuela's state-run radio stations on Sunday
that she hopes to meet with government officials to discuss the matter.

The principle of "Fair Use" was established as law by Section 107 of The
Copyright Act of 1976. "Fair Use" legally eliminates the need to obtain
permission or pay royalties for the use of previously copyrighted materials
if the purposes of display include "criticism, comment, news reporting,

for determining whether the use of a work in any particular case qualifies
as a "fair use". A work used does not necessarily have to satisfy all four
criteria to qualify as an instance of "fair use". Rather, "fair use" is
determined by the overall extent to which the cited work does or does not
substantially satisfy the criteria in their totality. If you wish to use
