MIAMI -- Fidel Castro's younger sister says she collaborated with the
CIA in 1964, five years after the Cuban revolution.

Seventy-six-year-old Juanita Castro told Univision's WLTV-23 station
late Sunday she initially supported her brother's 1959 overthrow of the
Batista dictatorship but quickly became disillusioned.

Her home became a sanctuary for anti-Communists before she fled the
island in 1964. In the TV interview, Juanita Castro says she was
approached by the CIA.

The station said she collaborated with the agency while in Cuba and
after she left. Those details are contained in a segment of the
interview due to be aired Wednesday. A transcript was not available in
advance.

Juanita Castro eventually settled into a quiet life in Miami and ran a
pharmacy until 2007.
