HAVANA (AP) - Cuba blasted Costa Rican President Oscar Arias on Wednesday for comparing Fidel Castro to the late Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, claiming Arias does the bidding of the U.S. government.
In a statement published in the Communist Party daily Granma, the Cuban Foreign Ministry expressed its "profound indignation" over Arias' comments likening the ailing Castro to his ideological foe.
"There is no difference" between the men, Arias said in an interview in Costa Rica last week. "The ideology differs, but both were savage, brutal and bloody."
