Cuba slams book by Castro's sister
Havana: Cuba's state-run media condemned a just-published book in which Fidel Castro's sister admits she spied for the Central Intelligence Agency.
The country's media added that the expose proves that the former Cuban leader was a "victim" of decades of US targeting.
"The truth is in full view: Fidel Castro is the victim, the offended person, the individual against whom they conspired," wrote the government-run La Jiribilla magazine, saying the relentless effort to target the Cuban leader was in "bad taste" and "low moral standing."
In the book, which went on sale last week, Juanita, the fifth of seven Castro siblings, writes that she aided the CIA during the 1960s, at a time when the United States was plotting to assassinate her brother and replace his Communist regime.
Now a resident of Miami, Juanita Castro wrote that she was contacted in 1964 after she broke with Fidel and Raul, the current president of Cuba, and collaborated with the CIA both inside Cuba and when she went into exile later that year.
