Casto's Web announcement

February 19, 2008

Castro said he would not seek a new presidential term when Cuba's National Assembly meets on February 24. The 81-year-old has been stricken with an undisclosed illness and has not been seen in public for 19 months. Castro could remain politically influential as first secretary of the ruling Communist Party and elder statesman.
