			<description>Albanians may have found a new villain to blame for the frequent power cuts that have been blighting their lives.



The country's main electricity company says a cat chasing a mouse caused a 72-hour blackout in parts of the capital, Tirana.

"We took pictures because we've never had anything like this," she said.

			<description>Fidel Castro, the Cuban president who seized power in a 1959 revolution, has stated in a quote in Cuba's state-run newspaper Granma that when the National Assembly of Cuba meets on February 24 he "will not aspire to or accept... the positions of President of Council of State and Commander in Chief."

RIO TALEA, Mexico [JP] - Alone in her cabin high in the mountains of southern Mexico, Ines Ramirez Perez felt pounding labour pains. Since she had given birth to a stillborn baby girl three years earlier, she was concerned for her unborn child. The nearest clinic was more than 50 miles away over rough terrain and inhospitable roads - and her husband was drinking at a cantina.
