U.S. president Donald Trump authorized Tuesday publication of classified papers concerning the assassination of the president John F. Kennedy in 1963. More than 31 1000 pages of papers went to the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration website.
Federal authorities attribute execution Lee Harvey Oswald. Nevertheless, many Americans uncertainty the authoritative version of events. The public papers are expected to shed fresh light on the case.
Oswald's possible links to the KGB. He was a “bad shooter”
One of the key theories concerns Oswald's connection to the russian government. any papers suggested that he could leave the USSR in 1962 with the intention of killing president Kennedy. However, another papers call this into question, including the 1991 study by American prof. E.B. Smith following a conversation with KGB agent “The Famous” Nikonov. Niconov reportedly concluded that Oswald was never a KGB agent, according to PAP.
The published memo added that a KGB authoritative doubted “that anyone could control Oswald, but noted that the KGB had been watching him closely and constantly while he was in the USSR.” Oswald is described as a “bad scorer”, based on his attempts to shoot a mark in the russian Union, reports The Standard portal.
Did Oswald act alone? There will be circumstantial evidence of the presence of the second shooter.
One of the most debateable aspects of Kennedy’s execution is whether Oswald acted alone. Warren's commission, which was conducting a ten-month investigation of the case, concluded that this was the case. However, the recently declassified files contain ballistic reports and witness statements that undermine this narrative.
Some papers propose that another shot may have been fired from a tiny hill, from which a view of the Kennedy convoy's way was extended. This is in line with the 1979 home choice Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), which, on the basis of acoustic evidence, concluded that there was a ‘high probability’ of the presence of the second shooter. Witness reports in the leaked files confirm this possibility. They mention, among others, the evidence of a side witness from Dallas who was to be forced to stay silent by government agents, says the Business Standard portal.
