US-indicted Raul Castro reappears after months out of public view

Veteran Cuban leader Raul Castro appeared in public for the first time in months Thursday, attending an event to mark the centenary celebration of his brother Fidel's birth.

The 95-year-old head of the Cuban armed forces and former president -- who was recently indicted by the United States -- appeared at the event dressed in military uniform, AFP reporters witnessed.
