Fidel Castro Gives Rare Televised Interview
-------------------------------------------



In news from Cuba, Fidel Castro appeared on Cuban television Monday
giving one of his first interviews since falling ill four years ago. The
83-year-old former president warned the United States not to invade
Iran. Castro said that any American attack on Iran would face much more
resistance than the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Fidel Castro: "Iraq had no weapons. It was a country divided between
Kurds, Shiites and Sunnis. None of those divisions exist in Iran. That
will be tough. The worst thing will be the resistance they encounter.
That is guaranteed, unlike in Iraq."
