| Description | Fidel Castro says Cuba once saved the life of President Ronald Reagan by giving American officials information about an assassination plot.
The essay published Wednesday in the Communist Party daily Granma appeared to be Castro's first public description of the matter. It seemed to be aimed at showing that Cuba had cooperated with the United States in the past.
Also Wednesday, Cuba's National Assembly president, Ricardo Alarcón, told CNN that he had been ''in touch'' with Castro more than a week ago and that the ailing leader was recovering and preparing the published essay at the time.
In the essay, Castro wrote that a Cuban security official stationed at the United Nations in New York alerted U.S. mission security chief Robert C. Muller about an extreme right-wing group that was planning to assassinate Reagan during a planned trip to North Carolina in 1984.
