Fidel Castro: Fidel Castros
built 627 days ago
Fidel Castro, and many Ortodoxos who had expected to win in the thwarted elections, began to organize an insurrection. Castro led a civilian armed attack of mostly young Ortodoxos against the Moncada military barracks on July 26, 1953. The attack failed and Castro landed in prison; but the movement he organized captured the opposition's imagination. While imprisoned from 1953 to 1955, Castro's time was used to write, study, and further organize.

Task Force W devises two plans to assassinate Fidel Castro. The first one, involving an exploding sea shell that would be placed where Castro regularly dives, is dismissed by the CIA’s Technical Services Division (TSD) as impractical. In the second plan, James Donovan (who has been negotiating with Castro for the release of prisoners taken during the Bay of Pigs operation) would present Castro with a contaminated diving suit. TSD decides to give the plan a try. It purchases a diving suit and laces its breathing apparatus with tubercule bacillus. The suit itself is dusted with a fungus that is known to cause a chronic skin disease.
