CIA Releases ‘Family Jewels’

The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has declassified hundreds of once-secret documents, detailing some of the agency’s activities from the 1950s through the early 1970s. They include a plot to assassinate Cuban President Fidel Castro. VOA’s Robert Raffaele has the story.

The CIA released the documents on its website, in response to a 1992 Freedom of Information Act request.

CIA Director Michael Hayden called the documents a “glimpse of a very different time and a very different agency.”
