It looks like Fidel Castro may have terminal cancer:
Ever since President Fidel Castro was sidelined for what was said to be abdominal surgery last July, Cuban officials have maintained that the country’s leader will return to his post. ”We will again have him leading the revolution,” said Foreign Minister Felipe P?rez Roque just two days ago, speaking at an outdoor rally to protest the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba, according to the Communist Party daily newspaper Granma.
But U.S. officials tell TIME that many in the U.S. government are now convinced that Castro, 80, has terminal cancer and will never return to power. “Certainly we have heard this, that this guy has terminal cancer,” said one U.S. official.
It may be a cold, gloomy day here in Virginia, but this new just about makes my weekend.
