+ 24/01/2006 - Former Cuban Counterintelligence Chief Denies Involvement



Fabián Escalante, former Cuban counterintelligence chief named in an article 
published in the Miami Herald January 18 as implicated in the Kennedy 
assassination, has denied any personal involvement and has reiterated that the 
Cuban government was in no way involved in the crime. 

This is not the first time Cuba has been fingered as responsible for plotting 
to kill the US President, but this is the first time Escalante has been named 
specifically for playing a part in the assassination. 

The article by Cuban exile Carlos Alberto Montaner claims that Escalante was in 
Dallas the day of the assassination, a fact that Escalante emphatically denies. 
In his own book, to be published by Ocean Press in April (JFK: The Cuba Files), 
Escalante explains he was 22 and the head of a counterintelligence unit that 
was meeting in Havana on November 22, 1963, to discuss attempts to block the 
numerous terrorist attacks being launched against Cuba from Miami at the time. 
"The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the US president, made a deep impression 
on me, as was the case with all my comrades, in spite of the fact that he was 
one of our fiercest adversaries." 

Escalante further states that he has never been in Mexico City, where, as 
alleged in a new German documentary, "Rendezvous with Death: Castro and 
Kennedy," he paid Oswald $6500 for the "job." He also questions the sources 
cited in the documentary, and in particular, challenges the credentials of some 
of those interviewed. Faces were never shown and names never mentioned in the 
documentary, Escalante comments, but if they were indeed "former agents of 
Cuban intelligence" as alleged, "we would know who they are," he says. 

Now retired, General Fabián Escalante was later head of counterintelligence and 
led Cuba's investigation into the Kennedy assassination, an investigation 
undertaken at the request of the US government after the Senate Commission 
chaired by Frank Church exposed numerous CIA plots to kill foreign political 
leaders. The Cuban report, drafted by Escalante and which is the primary source 
for his book, JFK: The Cuba Files, concluded that the US President had himself 
become a target of this "Executive Action" assassination program. 

According to Fabián Escalante, Kennedy was the victim of a conspiracy among all 
those who had a grudge against the president: the CIA, the Mafia, and the 
anti-Castro Cuban exiles. In his book, he names two Cuban exiles as additional 
shooters in Dallas on that fateful day in November 1963.
