A sister of Cuba's former long-time leader, Fidel Castro, has admitted spying for the CIA in the 1960s.

Juanita Castro, who now lives in Miami, said she had gathered sensitive information for the US for three years.

In her memoirs, she said she had fallen out with Fidel and her other brother Raul, Cuba's current president, over the killing of their opponents, the BBC reported.

Juanita Castro, 76, said she had helped to warn and hide Cuban dissidents before finally fleeing the island in 1964.

There has been no immediate reaction from the US or Cuban governments.
