Include the source you are using thank you in advance.

Answer 1

There are a number of theories that came up in regard to the assassination of the U.S president John F. Kennedy. But the core one was the that the Cuban government was responsible, gathered steam after the Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities revealed that the Central Intelligence Agency had made several attempts to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro. In denying the allegations, Castro argued that such an action would have posed too great a risk of retaliation by the United States. This line of thought finds great significance in a trip that Oswald made in late September 1963 to Mexico City, where he remained until early October and made repeated attempts to contact the Cuban and Soviet consulates.
