Who killed JFK. The idea that the assassination was a CIA plot sounds bizarre, but conspiracy theorists suggest the presidents alleged comment that he wanted to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds made him an agency target. Other theories suggest that one of the tramps (see above) was E Howard Hunt, a former CIA operative who was involved in the ill-fated Bay of Pigs operation to oust Cuban leader Fidel Castro. The Mafia Why would the mafia want JFK dead? Because his brother, Robert, was turning up the heat on organised crime. Robert was the US attorney general at the time and his anti-mafia crusade had lead to a sharp increase in the number of prosecutions of senior mafia figures. The KGB The Soviets had a palpable, powerful motive [to kill JFK]: to gain revenge for the humiliation of the USSR in the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, says Scienta Press. Oswald was a communist and had spent time in the USSR. His Russian odyssey afforded the KGB many opportunities to interact with him.
