Report: Secret JFK documents reveal link to 'mysterious CIA operative'
On Feb. 10, it was reported by Axios that the FBI had uncovered 2,400 new documents that could shed light on the mystery of how President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
The documents were uncovered after Donald Trump signed an executive order in late January authorizing the release of all remaining classified files about the event that shook the world.
Recently, the White House was alerted that the FBI had found new materials while it was rifling through JFK assassination files in response to Trump's order.
According to Jefferson Morley, one of the experts on JFK's assassination, the new documents might include files on George Joannides, who was chief of covert action at the CIA's station in Miami in 1963.
Joannides, who passed away in 1990, was a case officer for a group of anti-Fidel Castro students called the Cuban Student Directorate, which had several interactions with Lee Harvey Oswald, Kennedy's reputed assassin.
According to the Daily Mail, one of the biggest open questions in the case surrounds Herminio Diaz, a Cuban assassin who is believed to have killed up to 20 people and was known to target political figures.
Per the source:
The file on Diaz starts in 1957 when he was involved in a plot to assassinate the president of Costa Rica.
It runs to 30 pages but more than a dozen pages remain redacted.
Diaz was killed in 1966 while attempting to assassinate Fidel Castro.
He had entered the United States in the summer of 1963, shortly before the JFK assassination, and it is known the CIA had contact with him.
He was given political asylum and lived in Florida.
Do you think Trump's executive order will eventually lead to America finding out the truth behind JFK's assassination?
