The Cuban Connection in the Kennedy Assassination in the New Book "Castro's Secrets"

I always thought the Cubans could be one of the people behind the Kennedy Assassination conspiracy and there looks to be some grains of truth to that theory.

In November 1963, Cuban intelligence officer Florentino Aspillaga was posted in a little hut near a Cuban beach where he operated listening equipment trained on Miami and CIA headquarters in Virginia. On the morning of Nov. 22, Mr. Aspillaga—who would defect to the U.S. in 1987—said that he was ordered "to stop all your CIA work, all your CIA work." He was instructed to "put all of my equipment to listen to any small detail from Texas. They told me Texas."

Did Castro know that Lee Harvey Oswald was about to assassinate President Kennedy? Brian Latell, a veteran CIA Cuba analyst who spent 15 hours interviewing Mr. Aspillaga for his newly revised "Castro's Secrets," (Palgrave MacMillan), makes a strong case that he did. 

This book Castro's Secrets might be an interesting look at the history of the Cuban Intelligence apparatus. That cold war period with the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis has always been a very interesting time in history.
