Uribe and Castro clash over UN panel

Colombia’s former president Alvaro Uribe and former Cuban leader Fidel Castro clashed Monday over Uribe’s appointment to a United Nations committee that is to investigate the Israeli attack on a humanitarian flotilla earlier this year.

“As if a country full of mass graves with bodies of assassinated people, some with up to two thousand victims, and seven Yankee military bases (…), didn’t have anything to do with terrorism and genocide,” Castro wrote.
