RIO DE JANERIO: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Friday that Fidel
Castro is "battling for his life" after talking with the Cuban leader
for nearly half an hour several days ago.
Chavez, a close ally an admirer of Castro, compared Castro's attempt to
recover from an unspecified, grave medical condition to efforts in the
1950s, when Castro was a guerrilla in Cuba's eastern mountains fighting
the government he would overthrow.
"Fidel is in the Sierra Maestra again, battling for his life," Chavez
said after attending a summit of South American leaders in Rio.
