A patsy. Accused of the assassination of President John F Kennedy and shot to death 2 days later himself by another 'Lone-nut' gunman | |
Lee Harvey Oswald was accused of the assassination of US President John F Kennedy and arrested the same evening. The Warren Commission concluded that he was a lone nut killer.
[Mark Gorton]] writes that "Oswald could have been made to look like a racist, a Cuban, a Russian, or even to have mob ties." He notes that "Russian intelligence was aware of the plans to kill Kennedy, and they were aware that through Lee Harvey Oswald they were to be set up to take the blame. So in September of 1963, the KGB attempted to kill Lee Harvey Oswald to prevent themselves from being sucked into a false war, but the assassination capabilities of the Russians within the United States were fairly limited, and the KGB was unable to kill Oswald."[1]
