Oh well - he is still kicking
Images appearing to show former Cuban President Fidel Castro surfaced Saturday on a pro-government blog, which claims the photos were taken Wednesday.
The set of three photos apparently show the 83-year-old ailing Castro meeting with people during "a surprise visit" at the National Center of Scientific Investigations in Havana, according to a blog published by columnist Rosa C. Baez.
An additional five photos -- appearing to be from the same event -- were published Saturday by the state-run media site Cubadebate.
The Cuban government was not immediately available to comment on the authenticity of the photos, and CNN's attempts to reach the Havana-based blogger were unsuccessful.
It would be the first public appearance made by the former Cuban leader since he stepped down from power in 2006 to undergo intestinal surgery.
