The plotting began almost immediately after the 1959 revolution. In 1961,
when Cuban exiles, with the backing of the US government tried to overthrow
him in the Bay of Pigs debacle, the plan was to assassinate Fidel and Raul
Castro along with Che Guevara. At times it seemed as though the US security
services were more interested in bumping off the Cuban head of state than
protecting their own: on the very day that Kennedy was assassinated in 1963,
an agent, who had been given a pen-syringe in Paris, was dispatched on a mission
to assassinate Castro.
