Attempts to Fidel Castro: the most famous of them
Two sniper
Fidel Castro actively made visits to various countries. In 1971, on one of his trips to Chile, an attempt was made on him, in which two killers were to be involved, so that surely. But this did not help the instigators: a few days before the killing of one of the snipers was hit by a car, and the second one was battled with an attack of appendicitis.
Insidious women
Comandante very much loved women's attention, and intelligence agencies could not take advantage of this. So was recruited one of the former mistresses of Fidel, who was instructed to poison the Cuban leader, pouring him poisonous pills. The woman arranged a meeting with Castro, and did not think of anything better than to hide the tablets in a tube of cream, where they simply dissolved. Nevertheless, Castro exposed the lady, and then handed her a gun so that she could shoot him, if that's what she wanted. According to eyewitnesses, the lady could not do this and prayed to the commandant about forgiveness.
Cigars for the commandant
Fidel Castro is an avid smoker, he like a real Cuban smoked only cigars. Through frontmen, the CIA intelligence service was presented with a cigar with explosives as a presentation. By the will of fate, the security service of the leader of Cuba suspected something amiss and saved the life of his leader.
Dangerous tribune
Cigarettes are not the only attempt on Fidel related to explosives. In 2000, when Castro made an official visit to Panama, about 90 kilograms of explosives were hidden under the rostrum from which the leader of the revolution was to make a fiery speech. Protection during the inspection of the territory did not reveal any explosive elements, but the commandant was again saved by a miracle, the explosives simply did not detonate. If luck did not again smile at Fidel, there would be no chance to survive the explosion of such an amount of explosives.
Fatal clams
More insidious attempts on Castro were made. Since he was a great diver, the intelligence officers have explored the place where the commandant will dive. They planned to hide under the water a large amount of explosives, while in order to attract the attention of Castro, the killers planned to paint mollusks in bright colors. The attempt was planned to the smallest detail, and when the whole mechanism of the assassination was planned and ready for implementation - a storm began on the sea.
Gift of the lawyer
Another unfortunate cunning plan of the CIA was the secret use of the famous lawyer Donovan. An unsuspecting lawyer was supposed to give Castro an aqualung, inside which was a tubercle bacillus. The lawyer estimated the gift and found it not very worthy for the Cuban leader and decided to buy him a more expensive and high-quality model. So it happened: the lawyer presented a new, expensive scuba model to the commandant, and left himself a "scuba diving from the CIA".Fidel remained alive, but the lawyer - alas. ..
Even handle
During the meeting of Kennedy and Castro, a CIA officer had to hand over the poisoned handle to one Cuban, whose task was to put it in the commandant's office. For unknown reasons, the attempt was failed.
Favorite restaurant
Castro had a favorite restaurant, he frequented it regularly. The CIA attempted an assault on the commandant at this restaurant. It was concluded that a gangster from Chicago receives capsules with deadly poison, which must be thrown into Fidel. When the attempt was planned and prepared, the commandant suddenly stopped going to this restaurant.
Fidel Castro will soon be 90 years old, he is alive spitefully to his enemies, and with a high degree of probability it can be argued that he survived them.
