ALARM - Castro, victim of a "accident of health", passes the capacities to his Raul brother
Havana - the cuban president made announce Monday in a "proclamation" read with the television which it had been victim of a "accident of health" and had had to undergo a surgical operation, and which it passed "temporarily" the principal capacities to his Raul brother, Minister for Defense.
Doesn't Raul have an IQ of about 70?
Do we have anyone here whose Spanish is good enough to tell us if the term "accident of health" is idiomatic for anything?
All Bush's fault if he does die. We have withheld medicine and medical equipment that may have saved him.
