[B]HAVANA, Cuba (CNN) -- Cuban President Fidel Castro was undergoing intestinal surgery and provisionally handed over power in the Communist island nation to his younger brother Raul, according to a statement read on Cuban television Monday night.[/B]

Fidel Castro, 79, has led Cuba since a 1959 revolution. Raul Castro, 75, is the first vice president of the country, and as such, the designated successor to his brother.

Castro's secretary, Carlos Valenciaga, read a letter he said was from the president in which he said stress had forced him into surgery and that he would be in bed for several weeks after the operation was complete. Castro turns 80 on August 13.

Raul Castro also assumes control over the armed forces and the leadership of the Communist Party, according to the statement.

Re: Castro hands over power

If the US ever decided to invade Cuba, I suspect it would be out of sheer boredom.

Re: Castro hands over power

Castro is friends with Chavez who is also friends with Putin and his defense buddies. Democracy vs. fascist capitalism i foresee is the next trend.
