The FBI said it would take some time to check the veracity of the claims.Translation: "Gee thanks Fidel, but we're a little busy monitoring your agents who are trying to destroy our nation at the moment....we'll get back to you on that one, okay? Be advised, however that we may not be able to get to it before your funeral."

Also, from the article:
It was claimed last year that the CIA made 638 attempts to kill Fidel Castro, including using toxic cigars and exploding moluscs.
I had always thought that it was exploding cigars and toxic mollusks". Oh well, mere details, I suppose........

LOL!! Silly boogers, them Ukers. Our guys killed Castro decades ago and replaced him with an animatronic clown purchased at a closing sale for a carnival that was going out of business.
Oh, wait... that’s probably still classified.
Umm.... no we didn’t. That thing is the real Clowno...errmm..I mean Castro.
I didn’t say that. OH! Look at the grouse!!

Castro also accused the US government of misleading the public about the September 11 attacks six years ago. He claimed that a missile hit the Pentagon rather than a plane, because no trace was found of the passengers.
Castro's a truther - figures.

That has to be BS. It's impossible to try ANYTHING more than 600 times and still fail.

Anyone wishing to read the entire essay from which this story is derived may do so here.
I'm not posting the text because, as is Fidel's habit, it's overly long, verbose and rambling

And in a related story Fidel Castro’s approval number among posters at DU just dropped 50 points.
