<p>[BBC</a> NEWS | Americas | Internet chat ‘dupes Castro son’](<a href=“http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8099925.stm]BBC”>BBC NEWS | Americas | Internet chat 'dupes Castro son')</p>

<p>

Mr Dominguez used Antonio Castro’s alleged weakness for young women and sports.</p>

<p>Mr Dominguez created Claudia, a 27-year-old Colombian sports journalist.</p>

<p>Claudia made contact with Antonio and they chatted on and off for an eight-month period.</p>

<p>Antonio shared details of his daily life in Cuba and his trips around the world with his uncle Raul, the Cuban president, but did not reveal any state secrets.</p>

<p>However, Mr Dominguez says that by showing what he describes as the opulent lifestyles the Castros live in a communist country like Cuba he has achieved his aim.</p>

<p>Mr Dominguez has published pictures and documents of his chats with the younger Mr Castro on his blog.</p>

<p>He refuses to apologise for violating Antonio Castro’s privacy.

<p>All I can say is, man, why don’t we use more tactics like this? </p>

<p>Maybe we could ensnare one of Osama Bin Laden’s family relatives or something. Better yet, gain access to North Korea or embarrass one of the CPC leaders of the PRC (to gain diplomatic leverage). Maybe there are religious hardliners in Iran that aren’t so pious…</p>

<p>bin Laden has no contact with his family, fool :)</p>

<p>Hah! This is… perversely funny.</p>

<p>The Miami Herald has the original chat logs. If you read Spanish you can entertain yourself here: [Fidel</a> Castro’s son tricked in Internet love sting - Cuba - MiamiHerald.com](<a href=“http://www.miamiherald.com/581/story/1095119.html]Fidel”>http://www.miamiherald.com/581/story/1095119.html). More than a little weird, really…</p>

<p>Tell me I wasn’t the only one bursting out laughing at the - un besote - donde el beso? exchange. It’s just such a wonderfully… audacious thing to do, and Antonio Castro walked right into it.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t quite call a 27 year old a young girl…</p>

<p>Depends where you happen to be right now, chuy. To me, that’s young.</p>
