Summary:  
The documents detail intelligence operations and diplomatic communications involving Orlando Bosch, a Cuban exile detained in Venezuela for his alleged role in the 1976 bombing of Cubana Airlines flight 452. Bosch’s health deteriorated during a hunger strike in 1970, prompting concerns from Venezuelan officials and Cuban exiles about potential terrorist activity or retaliatory actions against Venezuela. His connections to CIA agents and alleged involvement in plots against Cuban officials, including the assassination of Chilean former President Salvador Allende’s nephew Orlando Letelier (1976), are noted. U.S. agencies such as the FBI and CIA monitored Bosch’s movements, with intelligence reports referencing his use of Costa Rican passports, interactions with Venezuelan President Carlos Andrés Pérez, and alleged ties to Chilean intelligence (DINA). The documents also reference broader Cold War-era investigations into Cuban exile networks, including smuggling operations involving Dominican Airlines and logistical planning for attacks in Spain. No direct link to the JFK assassination is present in the text.
