New photos of Fidel Castro appear on Cuban media

Amid recent rumors of ill health or even possible death, Cuban state media has released 21 photos of former leader Fidel Castro.

The photo spread appeared late Monday in the online version of Cuba’s state-run newspaper, Granma.

Despite scores of CIA assassination attempts against him and a failed U.S.-backed invasion of Cuba, Castro stayed in power until 2006, when an intestinal ailment forced him to step down.
