Castro decries US, others sending troops to Haiti

None

Fidel Castro is questioning why the US and other countries sent soldiers to quake-ravaged Haiti, saying military presence hindered international cooperation.

 

The former Cuban president writes that "without anyone knowing how or why," Washington dispatched troops "to occupy Haitian territory," and other nations followed suit. In an opinion column Sunday in state-controlled media, Castro said neither the UN nor the US "has offered an explanation to the people of the world." (AP)
