President Fidel Castro, Cuba’s leader for more than 45 years, broke his left knee and his right arm in a fall, and urged the Caribbean country’s population of 11-million to stay calm, a government statement said on Thursday. TV cameras captured the incident on Wednesday when the leader stumbled as he was descending a flight of stairs.
Cuba for the first time has acknowledged ties to the former senior US intelligence analyst, Ana Belen Montes, sentenced this week to 25 years jail for spying for Havana’s communist government.
