+ 24/01/2006 - Former Cuban Counterintelligence Chief Denies Involvement Fabián Escalante, former Cuban counterintelligence chief named in an article published in the Miami Herald January 18 as implicated in the Kennedy assassination, has denied any personal involvement and has reiterated that the Cuban government was in no way involved in the crime. This is not the first time Cuba has been fingered as responsible for plotting to kill the US President, but this is the first time Escalante has been named specifically for playing a part in the assassination. The article by Cuban exile Carlos Alberto Montaner claims that Escalante was in Dallas the day of the assassination, a fact that Escalante emphatically denies. In his own book, to be published by Ocean Press in April (JFK: The Cuba Files), Escalante explains he was 22 and the head of a counterintelligence unit that was meeting in Havana on November 22, 1963, to discuss attempts to block the numerous terrorist attacks being launched against Cuba from Miami at the time. "The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the US president, made a deep impression on me, as was the case with all my comrades, in spite of the fact that he was one of our fiercest adversaries." Escalante further states that he has never been in Mexico City, where, as alleged in a new German documentary, "Rendezvous with Death: Castro and Kennedy," he paid Oswald $6500 for the "job." He also questions the sources cited in the documentary, and in particular, challenges the credentials of some of those interviewed. Faces were never shown and names never mentioned in the documentary, Escalante comments, but if they were indeed "former agents of Cuban intelligence" as alleged, "we would know who they are," he says. Now retired, General Fabián Escalante was later head of counterintelligence and led Cuba's investigation into the Kennedy assassination, an investigation undertaken at the request of the US government after the Senate Commission chaired by Frank Church exposed numerous CIA plots to kill foreign political leaders. The Cuban report, drafted by Escalante and which is the primary source for his book, JFK: The Cuba Files, concluded that the US President had himself become a target of this "Executive Action" assassination program. According to Fabián Escalante, Kennedy was the victim of a conspiracy among all those who had a grudge against the president: the CIA, the Mafia, and the anti-Castro Cuban exiles. In his book, he names two Cuban exiles as additional shooters in Dallas on that fateful day in November 1963.
