Castro accuses Bush of plotting his deathAdd to Clippings

AP[ FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 2004 09:57:35 PM ]

HAVANA : Fidel Castro accused US President George W Bush on Friday of plotting with Miami exiles to kill him as part of the Bush administration's hardening policies against the communist-run island.

"We know that Mr Bush has committed himself to the mafia ... to assassinate me," the Cuban president said, using the term commonly employed here to describe anti-Castro Cuban-Americans.

Castro's comments came at the end of a 5 1/2 hour speech that began Thursday night and continued into early Friday at the closing of a conference bringing together activists across the region who oppose the Free Trade Area of the Americas .

The Cuban leader didn't back up his accusations with specific details.

Castro has accused past US presidential administrations of seeking to assassinate him. During Castro's early years in power, there were numerous documented cases of US-sponsored attempts on his life.

But assassination of foreign leaders as US policy was later banned in 1976 by an executive order signed by then President Gerald Ford and reinforced by Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan.
