CUBA-CASTRO-80TH ANNIVERSARY
Cuban soldiers stand next to anti-aircraft missiles at the Revolution Square in Havana, on November 29th, 2006, before taking part in drills for a military parade to celebrate President Fidel Castro's 80th birthday and the 50th of the Cuban Army on Saturday. In a message read to the nation last night by a speaker, Castro announced that due to his doctors' advice, he won't be taking part in the celebrations for his birthday that were postponed from August 13 to December 2. The date was picked for the fiesta because it marks the 50th anniversary of the day Castro and 81 bearded rebels -- including brother Raul and Argentine-born revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara -- returned from exile in Mexico aboard a yacht named Granma, launching a military campaign that would topple US-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959.
