Adams to meet with Castro

Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams has arrived in Cuba, where will meet Fidel Castro during the four-day visit.

A memorial to those who died in the H-Block hunger strikes is to be unveiled.

The visit is also expected to focus attention on the cases of three suspected IRA members, arrested in Columbia in August on suspicion of training Marxist rebels.

Sinn Fein's Cuban representative, Niall Connolly, was among those arrested.
