The files were published as part of the nearly 3,000 documents collected by
the U.S. National Archive.
The CIA considered bombing Miami and other cities to create a terror threat
while blaming the government of Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro,
according to the recently-published "JFK files."
The files were published as part of the nearly 3,000 documents collected by
the U.S. National Archive on the assassination of former President John F.
Kennedy and several other issues.
The report said the Central Intelligence Agency, CIA, considered staging
several terror events involving Cuban citizens to seek blame for Castro's
government.
"We could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in
other Florida cities and even in Washington," the files read. The plan also
included a possible attack on migrants leaving Cuba to settle in the United
States.
"We could sink a boatload of Cubans enroute to Florida (real or simulated).
We could foster attempts on lives of Cuban refugees in the United States
even to the extent of wounding in instances to be widely publicized."
The release of 2,891 previously classified files also shed a light on more
aggressive tactics by the CIA, which included the placement of bombs and the
creation of a terror environment.
"Exploding a few plastic bombs in carefully chosen spots, the arrest of a
Cuban agent and the release of prepared documents substantiating Cuban
involvement also would be helpful in projecting the idea of an irresponsible
government," the files went on.
The report also mentions how the CIA tried to assassinate Castro through
bodysuits filled with deadly bacteria and explosive seashells planted
underwater, taking advantage of the Cuban leader's taste for diving.
"It was known that Fidel Castro liked to skindive," the reports said. "The
CIA plan was to dust the inside of the suit with a fungus producing madera
foot, a disabling and chronic skin disease, and also contaminating the suit
with tuberculosis bacilli in the breathing apparatus."
Finally, the files revealed that after several allegations, investigations
showed that the Cuban government wouldn't have been responsible for killing
Kennedy "because such an act, if discovered, would have afforded the United
States the excuse to destroy Cuba. The risk would not have been worth it."
