Castro recovering, not out of the picture, aide says |
2007-01-26 |
Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who dropped from public view six months ago after undergoing emergency surgery, is recovering and is still in charge of Cuba, a senior government official said on Thursday. "He is still at the helm," Ricardo Alarcon, president of Cuba's National Assembly, told reporters. Alarcon said the 80-year-old Cuban leader was out of sight because he was following strict doctor's instructions for his recovery "which is going very well." Alarcon said the timing of Fidel Castro's return to public life would depend on his recovery and indicated that skeptics were in for a surprise. |
