He’s Still Alive?
Fidel Castro looks healthier in first official video in 3 months
HAVANA (AP) — Fidel Castro looked alert and healthier in a
surprise video aired on state television Friday, the first images
released of the ailing 81-year-old Cuban leader in more than three
months.
Officials broke into regularly scheduled programming to announce
that an hour-long “conversation” with Castro, taped earlier in
the day, would be shown.
In the video, Castro spoke slowly and softly, and didn’t always
look the interviewer in the eye. But he appeared to be thinking
clearly.
