Fidel Castro dusted off his military fatigues for the first time since stepping down as president four years ago, a symbolic act in a Communist country where little signals often carry enormous significance.
The revolutionary leader wore the cap and uniform - minus the star and laurels he held as commander in chief - at a speech early today to students at the University of Havana.
The clothing was sure to revive speculation the 84-year-old is seeking a larger role in Cuban politics after turning power over to his younger brother Raul.
The former president repeated his warning that the world stands on the brink of a nuclear war due to tension pitting the United States and Israel against Iran. He has repeated the message since emerging from seclusion in July.
