The CIA considered bombing
Miami and other cities to create a terror threat while blaming the
government of Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, according to
the recently-published "JFK files."
The files were published as
part of the nearly 3,000 documents collected by the U.S. National
Archive on the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy and
several other issues.
The report said the Central
Intelligence Agency, CIA, considered staging several terror events
involving Cuban citizens to seek blame for Castro's government.
“We could develop a
Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida
cities and even in Washington," the files read. The plan
also included a possible attack on migrants leaving Cuba to settle in
the United States.
"We could sink a
boatload of Cubans enroute to Florida (real or simulated). We could
foster attempts on lives of Cuban refugees in the United States even
to the extent of wounding in instances to be widely publicized."
The release of 2,891
previously classified files also shed a light on more aggressive
tactics by the CIA, which included the placement of bombs and the
creation of a terror environment.
"Exploding a few
plastic bombs in carefully chosen spots, the arrest of a Cuban agent
and the release of prepared documents substantiating Cuban
involvement also would be helpful in projecting the idea of an
irresponsible government,” the files went on.
The report also mentions how
the CIA tried to assassinate Castro through bodysuits filled with
deadly bacteria and explosive seashells planted underwater, taking
advantage of the Cuban leader's taste for diving.
"It was known that
Fidel Castro liked to skindive," the reports said. "The
CIA plan was to dust the inside of the suit with a fungus producing
madera foot, a disabling and chronic skin disease, and also
contaminating the suit with tuberculosis bacilli in the breathing
apparatus."
Finally, the files revealed
that after several allegations, investigations showed that the Cuban
government wouldn't have been responsible for killing Kennedy
"because such an act, if discovered, would have afforded the
United States the excuse to destroy Cuba. The risk would not have
been worth it.”
