Retired lieutenant colonel closes street for his own

FROM CUBA
Retired lieutenant colonel closes street for his own

HAVANA, Cuba - February 6 (Odelín Alfonso Torna / www.cubanet.org) -
Lieutenant colonel Ramón Guerrero, Revolutionary Armed Forces, retired,
recently erected a steel gate on the street in front of his house,
essentially appropriating part of the street for his own use.

According to neighbors, Guerrero did so with the connivance of the local
government delegate Carlos Liranza.

Neighbors also charge that the steel door was made with materials stolen
from a military construction concern that abuts the lieutenant colonel's
property. The gate sports a metal sign, painted red, that reads: Keep
out. Military zone.

Neighbors say they have complained to local authorities, to no avail.
