HAVANA -- Fidel Castro temporarily relinquished his presidential powers to his brother Monday night and told Cubans he will undergo surgery.
The Cuban leader said in a letter read live on television by his secretary that he had suffered gastrointestinal bleeding, apparently due to stress from recent public appearances in Argentina and Cuba.
Because of that illness, Castro said he was temporarily relinquishing the presidency to his brother and successor Raul, the defense minister, according to the statement read by Carlos Valenciaga.

gee I hope he comes through this ok. There are many more librarians to jail, heeez woork is not finato.
I googled and found nothing, except a slew of rumor pages. Nothing substantial.
Apparently he's recovering, or someone is Photoshopping a picture of him in the hospital hodling up that day's newspaper a couple of weeks ago.
He's getting better every day.
