Assassination attempts on Fidel Castro : ウィキペディア英語版 | Assassination attempts on Fidel Castro Throughout his time as the President of Cuba many attempts were made by the United States to assassinate Fidel Castro. The Attempts were made by the United States's Central Intelligence Agency. All the attempts on Fidel Castro's life failed. ==Backdrop== Following World War II, the United States became secretly engaged in a practice of international political assassinations and attempts on foreign leaders. For a considerable period of time, the U.S. Government officials vehemently denied any knowledge of this program since it would be against the United Nations Charter. On March 5, 1972, Richard Helms, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director, declared that, "no such activity or operations be undertaken, assisted, or suggested by any of our personnel."〔Pape, Matthew S. (Can We Put the Leaders of the “Axis of Evil” in the Crosshairs? ) ''Parameters, US Army War College Quarterly'', Vol. XXXII, No. 3, 2002, p. 64.〕 In 1975, the U.S. Senate convened the ''Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities''. It was chaired by the Senator Frank Church (D-Idaho). The Church Committee uncovered that CIA and other governmental agencies employed a so-called tactic of "plausible deniability" during decision-making related to assassinations. CIA subordinates were deliberately shielding the higher-ranking officials from any responsibility by withholding full amount of information about planned assassinations. Government employees were obtaining tacit approval of their acts by using euphemisms and sly wording in communications.〔Alleged Plots Involving Foreign Leaders, U.S. Senate, Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, S. Rep. No. 755, 94th Cong., 2d sess. (PDF )〕
