Former Cuban President Raúl Castro reappears at a military event in Havana.
Raúl Castro, 95, reappeared publicly at a ceremony marking the 65th anniversary of Cuba's Personal Security Directorate, aired on Cuban state television. Castro, who holds no formal government or party position, had been the subject of health rumors after missing a July rally. The event comes amid a U.S. energy blockade on Cuba and after the U.S. Department of Justice filed murder charges against Castro in June related to the 1996 downing of anti-Castro aircraft.
