It goes to show you that -- despite the wishes of some U.S.-based advocates of the Castro regime -- there's no statute of limitations for murder and terrorism.

From France 24:
Paris court upholds ‘Carlos the Jackal’ life sentence
Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, who is best known by the name ‘Carlos the Jackal,’ lost his bid on Wednesday to appeal a 2011 decision sentencing him to life in prison for masterminding a string of deadly bombings in France during the 1980s.
Carlos the Jackal, once one of the world’s most wanted criminals, lost his appeal of a guilty verdict for deadly bomb attacks in France three decades ago, as a Paris court on Wednesday reaffirmed a life sentence in prison.
The Venezuelan defendant, 63, whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, had appealed a guilty verdict handed down in December 2011 for masterminding four separate attacks on two trains, a train station and a Paris street that killed 11 people and wounded about 150 more.
Before the verdict, the Marxist militant and self-dubbed “elite gunman” who became a symbol of Cold War anti-imperialism delivered a four-hour rambling monologue touching on everything from U.S. foreign policy to Basque separatism and Hezbollah.
“I have fought all my life against terrorists,” Ramirez said. “We are not terrorists, we are freedom fighters!”
