... Oswald in Mexico: new leads Steve Dorril The conspiracy trail is littered with unresolved leads, but few can be more important than Lee Harvey Oswald's visit to Mexico shortly before the assassination of President John F.

... Play for Cuba Committee by linking Oswald to the American Communist Party. The second, which may have been part of the assassination plot, involved a simulated meeting between an Oswald impostor and Vladimir Kostikov, an alleged KGB assassination expert.(6 ) It appears that the DFS, through its role in wire-tapping the Soviet and Cuban embassies for the CIA, played an important role in both operations, but especially the second.

' Those familiar with the Oswald documentation will be aware that this anomalous ...
