Cuban Defense Minister Julio Casas dies at 75

HAVANA (AP) — Cuban state television is reporting the death of Defense Minister Julio Casas. It says he suffered a heart attack at age 75, and officials have declared three days of mourning.

Casas fought in the revolution that brought Fidel Castro to power in 1959 and oversaw the military's lucrative economic enterprises for years before replacing Raul Castro as defense minister in early 2008.

State television said Casas died Saturday.
