Castro knew of plot to kill JFK, claims ex-CIA agent

“FIDELCastro may have known in advance about the assassination of President John F Kennedy by Lee Harvey Oswald, a retired CIA officer has claimed.

According to Brian Latell, the agency's former national intelligence officer for Latin America, a senior aide to the Cuban dictator was ordered to listen for "any little detail, any small detail from Texas" three hours before the president was shot dead on November 22, 1963.

The aide, Florentino Aspillaga, was stationed in a communications building next to Castro's family home in Havana and spent most of his time listening for CIA radio signals.”
