CASTRO DIES Havana, Cuba (CNN)Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro was a legendary survivor -- besting what Cuban officials say were more than 600 attempts to kill him. He lived much of his long life in the spotlight -- and much of it in the crosshairs -- surviving a half century of assassination plots. Castro died Friday, his brother Raul Castro announced. In a column titled "The Birthday" that was published in Cuban-state media on his 90th birthday August 13, Castro wrote that his younger brother Raul would have replaced him had "the adversary been successful in their plans of elimination. I almost laughed at the Machiavellian plans of the US Presidents." As that milestone birthday approached, Castro's mortality was very much on his mind. "Soon I will be 90," Castro said during a rare public appearance in Havana in April, at a meeting of the island's ruling Communist Party. "Never would such an idea have occurred to me. It was not the fruit of any effort, it was the whim of fate. Soon I will be like all the rest." Assassination plots were spectacular failures His would-be assassins are alleged to have plotted to kill him in a variety of ways, including poisoning him, dosing his dive suit with fatal botulism and blowing him up during a speech. Many of the plots were spectacular failures. More Wile E. Coyote than Jason Bourne. "More people have tried to murder the world's most famous socialist than any man alive," according to the 2006 British documentary "638 Ways to Kill Castro." Today, Cuban officials claim Castro survived more than 600 attempts on his life, a figure that is impossible to confirm. "If surviving assassination attempts were an Olympic event, I would win the gold medal," Castro liked to tell interviewers. His reputation as a cheater of death took hold early. As a young revolutionary he was reported dead twice by Cuba's press -- "perishing" once when he led a failed uprising against a military barracks and again when he returned from exile by boat with a guerrilla force.

SBG04:But where there are unfavorable government policies, which might affect your business, why not! the other time, the govt asked all banks to convert all dom currencies to naira exchange, which most businesses where affect largely, and some even have to carry raw cash to transfer in places like Benin republic, Ghana, Ivory coast etc where there govt policies encourage such, even sending monies to kids abroad at as that period one has to travel as far as Benin republic or give cash to someone travelling out to the host country, undermining the risk factor involved. |
