Cuba announced its second leadership reorganization of the month on Tuesday, replacing Attorney General Juan Escalona Reguera, who fought under Fidel and Raul Castro in the rebel army that toppled dictator Fulgencio Batista more than half a century ago.

A brief statement read on Cuban state television said Mr. Escalona Reguera, 78, was leaving his post for health reasons. He apparently remains a member of the Communist Party Central Committee.

Mr. Escalona Reguera's replacement is Brig. Gen. Dario Delgado, who had been deputy attorney general.

On March 9, Cuba all of the sudden announced it had replaced another veteran revolutionary, Rogelio Acevedo, who had overseen its airlines and airports and as a teenager fought alongside the Castros and Ernesto "Che" Guevara.
