Summary  
The documents detail extensive U.S. intelligence investigations into Cuban complicity in President John F. Kennedy’s assassination (November 22, 1963) and broader anti-Castro operations from 1960 to 1964. The Latin America Division (LAD) of the CIA conducted a 1976–1977 review of over 2,500 files, concluding no definitive evidence linked Cuba or Fidel Castro to the assassination. Key findings included anti-Castro plots by exile groups like Brigade 2506 and the Frente Revolutionary Anticomunisto (FRAC), discussions of potential assassinations of Castro, Raul Castro, and Che Guevara, and CIA/FBI monitoring of Cuban exile networks in Miami. A 1963 report mentioned Lee Harvey Oswald’s alleged connections to Cuban officials, including Clemente Morrera and the Cuban Embassy in Mexico, with rumors of his ties to Castro. Post-assassination, Cuba intensified security measures, while diplomatic discussions in Mexico City addressed Kennedy’s death. Intelligence operations like AMCOG, AMOVE, and AMCOVE-1 tracked Cuban activities, including travel of political figures and plots against Castro. The CIA also investigated claims of U.S.-backed sabotage against Cuban infrastructure and potential collusion between Chinese Communists and Castro via intermediaries in Dallas.
