Castro marks anniversary with new attacks on U S
Fidel Castro used the fifth anniversary of the Cuban revolution to attack the United States and claim progress for his government. He blamed President Johnson for a Christmas sabotage operation near Isle of Pines, citing a Soviet torpedo boat damaged and Cuban casualties, alleged to be aided by U S intelligence agents. He dismissed U S backed programs and warned Cuba could fight the American military might, while suggesting possible improvement in relations if U S behavior changed. The event commemorated Batista's overthrow and New Year’s Day 1959.
