"HAVANA, Cuba (AFP): Interim leader Raul Castro has unveiled arguably the most significant economic reform since taking the helm in communist Cuba, announcing that in some cases aircraft can be privately owned.
It is major news in a country that depends heavily on tourism to generate hard currency, though the announcement Thursday raised many questions without immediately delivering many answers.
Raul Castro, 76, the defence chief who took over July 31, 2006 when his brother Fidel Castro, now 81, stepped aside to undergo major intestinal surgery, is seen as a pragmatist, interested in Chinese and Vietnamese economic models."
