| | Cuba's ex-link to Latin guerrillas dies |
 | | Manuel Piñeiro, the legendary intelligence chief who ran Cuba's campaign to provide training and weapons to leftist guerrillas throughout Latin America, died in a car accident, Cuban media announced Thursday. |
 | | Remembered by friends as a politically moderate intellectual, and by critics as a ``tormentor,'' Piñeiro, 64, was one of the last surviving historical leaders of the Cuban Revolution. |
 | | Piñeiro had one son, Manuel, with his first wife, American dancer Lorna Burdsall, who still lives in Cuba, and a daughter, Patricia, with his second wife, Chilean writer Marta Harnecker. |
