CIA paid mobsters to eliminate Castro!


The CIA worked with two of the United States' most wanted criminals in a botched attempt to assassinate Cuban president Fidel Castro in a gangster-type action in the early 1960s, according to documents released by the CIA on June 26, 2007.


Hundreds of pages of long-secret records detail some of the agency's worst illegal abuses during about 25 years of assassination attempts and kidnapping. Some describe efforts to persuade Johnny Roselli, believed to be a mobster, to help plot Castro's assassination.

In August 1960 a CIA official, Richard Bissell, inquired about "assets that may assist in a sensitive mission requiring gangster-type action," according to the documents.

"The target was Fidel Castro," one memo says.

The story Roselli was to be told was that several international businesses were suffering heavy losses in Cuba as a result of Castro's action and were willing to pay $150,000 for his removal.

"It was to be made clear to Roselli that the US government was not, and should not, become aware of this operation," a document says.

The pitch was made to Roselli at the Hilton Plaza Hotel in New York and Roselli was initially unenthusiastic. But the contact led the agency to two top mobsters, Momo Salvatore Giancana and Santos Trafficant.

Giancana, who was known as Sam Gold, suggested firearms might be a problem and said using a potent pill that could be slipped into Castro's food or drink.
Six pills of high lethal content were provided to Juan Orta, identified as a Cuban official who had been receiving kickbacks from gambling interests. He had access to Castro and also had financial troubles.

"After several weeks of reported attempts, Orta apparently got cold feet and asked out of the assignment. He suggested another candidate who made several attempts without success," the document says.
