250 Cubans Treating Raid Casualties in Iraq
HAVANA — The 250 Cuban doctors and nurses working in Iraq have begun treating those injured in allied air strikes but have so far sustained no casualties themselves, the Cuban news agency Prensa Latina said Thursday.
In a report from Baghdad, the agency quoted officials from the Iraqi Health Ministry as saying that all the Cuban medical brigades in Iraq are safe. The agency gave no indication of the extent of Iraqi casualties.
In a large headline in red letters, Cuba’s Communist Party daily Granma condemned what it called the “criminal Yankee bombardment of Baghdad.”
