Castro Photo Released Amid Concerns About Health


BUENOS AIRES -- A photograph of Cuban leader Fidel Castro has appeared for the first time in more than two months.

The office of Argentine President Cristina Fernandez released the photo on Friday, two days after they met in Havana.


Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner poses with former Cuban leader Fidel Castro during a private meeting in Havana in this picture taken Jan. 21.

It shows Mr. Castro standing, wearing a blue track suit with red stripes on the sleeves and collar while Fernandez grasps his arm, smiling. It is the first released photo of the 82-year-old Castro since a Nov. 18 shot of him meeting Chinese President Hu Jintao.

The long spell without a photo of Mr. Castro had contributed to rumors he was gravely ill.

Mr. Castro hasn't been seen in public since undergoing abdominal surgery in July 2006 and he formally turned over the presidency to his brother Raul last year.

1. Tracksuit looks jet black to me but if they say it's blue

than I guess it's blue. :shrug:

2. Fidel was waiting to appear with a hot power babe by his side

Does wonders for the image, along with the beard shaping which no doubt cost less than a John Edwards cut.

Is that a toupe?
