</s>104-10164-10054 2025 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 DATE: 29 NOVEMBER 1976 CLASSIFICATION: BEXRET SURJECTS: ACCION CUBANA (AC) FRI TITLE NO: 105-21947 (MIAKI)

Summary:  
The documents consist of intelligence cables and reports spanning November 1974 to December 1969, detailing investigations into individuals associated with Cuban exile networks and anti-Castro activities. Key figures include Orlando Bosch Avila (a Cuban exile pilot wanted by U.S. authorities for alleged terrorist actions), Max Lesnick (also known as Max Edgardo Avaleintal), and other members of revolutionary groups linked to Miami-based exile organizations. The records reference movements between Venezuela, Curacao, the Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica, including Avila’s arrest in Curacao with arms and diplomatic efforts to track his status. Intelligence reports link him to bombings targeting Cuban interests, while internal communications highlight U.S. agency coordination (FBI, CIA) and file management for classified operations. A 1934 document references attempts to contact British entities under unclear contexts, though its relevance remains unspecified. No direct connection to the JFK assassination is mentioned in these records.
