Castro returns to airwaves with Chavez call
Fidel Castro made his first live Cuban radio and TV appearance in 14 months, speaking cordially with Hugo Chavez. The call followed Chavez airing a video of their weekend meeting in which Chavez praised Castro and sang revolutionary hymns, with Castro saying he was touched by Chavez’s Che Guevara tribute and noting electricity in the air. In Baghdad, a car bomb struck worshippers heading to a Shiite mosque during Eid al-Fitr, killing at least nine and raising the overall toll as security and sectarian violence persisted.
