Cuba’s President Fidel Castro slammed on Wednesday the "savage" policy of the United States towards Iraq, which has found itself under the looming specter of a US military campaign, INA news agency reported, according to AFP.
In a telegram of congratulations to his Iraqi counterpart Saddam Hussein on the 34th anniversary of the July 17, 1968 coup that brought the Baath Party to power, Castro blasted the "savage policy of the United States towards the friendly Iraqi people."
The Cuban Communist leader assured Saddam Hussein of his "solidarity" and his desire to develop relations between Havana and Baghdad, two countries targeted by Washington for their respective regimes. (Albawaba.com)
