The President of Cuba, Fidel Castro is dead, according to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. The authorities are reportedly waiting to announce his death. Fidel Castro over threw the dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959 and became the Prime Minister of Cuba. Castro became the President of Cuba in 1976. He is also the Commander in Chief which makes him in control of Cuba’s Miltary.
Fidel’s opponents call him a dictator, but his supporters love him as a charismatic liberator. Some reports say the C.I.A. tried to assassinate Castro about 638 times. Fidel said this about surviving all the assassination attempts against him, "If surviving assassination attempts were an Olympic event, I would win the gold medal."
Fidel Castro has been quite ill recently and his brother Raul has been in charge of Cuba for the last year or so.
