Edit to add to subject line. MB Title: Re: castro Post by: klaasend on August 24, 2007, 06:19:57 PM Thanks Tiger - seems rumors have been floating around for about 3 weeks now. Just found this article. Hard to say if his death is rumor or true:
http://www.myatltv.com/news/article_news.aspx?storyid=102199 Castro Sick, But No Death Imminent Provided by: NBC News Last Modified: 8/24/2007 5:28:20 PM U.S. Senior officials said that while there are reports on setbacks in Fidel Castro's health, there are no indications that his death is imminent. Nothing unusual has been reported from Havana. However, Miami is ablaze with rumors, NBC News reported. On Thursday, Cuba's foreign minister said rumors about Fidel Castro's deteriorating health are untrue. Felipe Perez Roque made the comments to reporters while attending the Forum for East Asia-Latin American Cooperation in Brazil. Cubans were hoping Fidel would make a public appearance during his birthday celebrations nearly two weeks ago. When asked if the 81-year-old Castro was still in charge of Cuban affairs, Roque said, "He is being informed and consulted constantly."
