Cuba's Castro Thought He Was Dying

International Business Times -: "HAVANA (AP) - Fidel Castro revealed Thursday that he thought he was dying when he fell seriously ill in July 2006, and he hastily made plans to give up power as doctors fought to save his life."

"When I fell gravely ill the night of the 26th and dawn of the 27th of July, I thought that would be the end, and while the doctors fought for my life, the head aide of the Council of State read at my urging the text and I dictated the necessary arrangements," the ailing 81-year-old wrote in an essay published on the front page of state newspapers.
