Fidel Castro exhales cigar smoke in this March 1985 file photo during an interview in Havana. According to newly declassified CIA papers released Tuesday, June 26, 2007, the CIA recruited a former FBI agent to approach two of America's most-wanted mobsters and gave them poison pills meant for Fidel Castro during his first year in power. Contained amid hundreds of pages of CIA internal reports collectively known as 'the family jewels,' the official confirmation of the 1960 plot against Castro was certain to be welcomed by communist authorities as more proof of their longstanding claims that the United States wants Castro dead.
