CIA Documents Confirm Assassination plans

Plots to Assassinate Fidel Ordered by the White House

...the website of the National Security Archive of George Washington University published a group of documents dated January 1975, in which William Colby, the CIA director at that time, refers to the assassination attempts against Fidel Castro, reported the BBC.

...

...a memorandum from the White House corroborating that former US Attorney General Robert Kennedy, brother of murdered President John F. Kennedy, personally headed a plot to assassinate Cuban President Fidel Castro.

The text refers to a conversation between former President Gerard Ford and his Secretary of State Henry Kissinger on January 4, 1975, when Kissinger told Ford that ex CIA director Richard Helms had said "Robert Kennedy personally managed an operation on the assassination of Castro."

Another document, signed by Associate Deputy Attorney General James A. Wilderotter on January 3, 1975, shows CIA agents conducted a physical surveillance of Mike Getler, journalist of The Washington Post.
