Anti-Castro Cuban Groups Involvement in JFK Assassination

Record	OBS-0511
Category	History/Assassinations
Status	UNPROVEN
Summary	The theory that anti-Castro Cuban groups, possibly with CIA connections, were involved in the assassination of President Kennedy due to his failure to support the Bay of Pigs invasion.
Origin	The theory emerged in the 1960s and was investigated by the House Select Committee on Assassinations.
Claimed	Anti-Castro Cubans were angered by Kennedy's handling of the Bay of Pigs invasion. Some individuals within these groups may have been involved, though the groups as a whole were not. The HSCA found no evidence that anti-Castro Cuban groups, as groups, were involved.
Evidence / consensus	The House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that anti-Castro Cuban groups, as groups, were not involved, but the evidence did not preclude individual members from being involved.

> OBSERVER NOTE:
The anti-Castro theory is plausible given the motives, but the HSCA found no group involvement. Individual involvement remains speculative.
