Show me where Castro supported Bernard Coard over Maurice Bishop? Where is that document even if it is propaganda.

A few months before Maurice Bishop's untimely death, during discussions at Freedom House, some senior PPP members had expressed the view that Bernard Coard was more Marxist-Leninist than Bishop. When Bishop was killed on October 19, 1983, the pro-Coard PPPites shut up tight. The next morning I went to Freedom House to wish Janet Jagan a happy birthday. She told me: "This is the worse day of my life."

I think it's a stretch to say that Fidel had a hand in Bishop's death. Everything I've read about the events on October 19 tells me that things got out of control and Coard and Hudson-Austin just lost their power-drunk minds.
