Oswald, Mexico and the KGB: What you need to know about the coming unclassified JFK assassination files

Raw Story  

The National Archives will release a trove of formerly classified information about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, including a lengthy CIA profile of killer Lee Harvey Oswald. Some of the declassified documents will reference the activities of undercover CIA operatives in Mexico City who aggressively monitored Oswald there in September 1963, when he made contact with Soviet and Cuban spies, including a KGB assassination expert. Previously released documents suggest the CIA's Mexico City station failed to pass along evidence to the Secret Service and other agencies that might have saved Kennedy's life. ALSO IN THE NEWS: 'Laughably delusional': Trump mocked for 'bonkers' superhero post teasing a huge announcement The documents might also shed light on Oswald's involvement with the CIA in summer 1963, about three months before the assassination, intended to discredit American supporters of Cuban communist leader Fidel Castro, according to journalist and author Jefferson Morley, who says he has "smoking-gun proof" of the operation. Morley's claims are based on files created by the late CIA agent George Joannides, who worked with anti-Castro exile groups and served as the agency's liaison to a House special committee investigating the assassination in the 1970s, and he said 44 more documents are still being retained by the agency that could offer more evidence about the operation.
