Accord.inK to.ataternc:nts by a senior CIA o{(icer in 1967, made

to the Inspector Cr.nc:ral, lhe 1\4;ency w~s instructed to develop a

capability to conduct assassinations. Termed a.o "executive actloa

cap<Lbility," such a project wu i..Utiated in 19l.l, apparently assumJnt

a.a existing cryptonym, ZR.RlFLE. At the request of the caae o!!lcer

(tho acun~ o!!icer providing this information in 1967), ... cldlldestine

asset in Europe, QJWIN, was to be used in the project. The ~aae

oUicer u.oderstood that QJWIN had been considered in 19£.0 !or use

in the assassination o{ Patrice Lurnumba, but t11at the proposed

opera.tion was nc\·er- c.1rdr :l o~.:t bcc.,u s c the r!<:aiJn"l<:d CIA case

oUicer declined thr. a!lslcnmcnl.

The case o£Cicer in ch.1rge o C ZlUUFLE also w.lS involved in an

O?erat!on to a:u:lssinate Fidel Castro, running from early 19!1Z to

rn.id-1?63. Hcwever, QJWlN was not used in trus cHert, reliance

being placed instead on a Cub"a exile leader. QJWlN was never

brie!ed on the Cas tro operation , according to the officer handline

ZRRlFLE and the Castro operatio n.

to a 19 February 196Z memora.ndwn and authorizes the retention of

tho aervices of QJWlN in activitiea which we have identified &I

QJWIN mehtion9 that this enterprise has been terminated, except

lor one precautionary "life line."

In summary, it is almost certain that QJWIN had nothing at all

to do with the assae;sination of Lumumba, even thou[;h the contents and

against Lumwnb~, but rcport~d that he lu.d declined the assignment.

That officer w.ts the originator of a. 19 J:X.ccn&ber 1960 c.J.ble to

Leopold ville in which he authorized the return of QJWIN to

-n Zl Decem~er to await furtller instructions a.J).d the

adJed th;a.t there would be bonuses lor speci.ll jobs. The cAble

mentioned in pa.ragr;,ph 6 that the Stati.on was concerned with the Cree

wheeling of WlROGUE, his lack oC 6ecurity, his inability to h~dle

finance~. and his unwillingness to Collow Instructions. The Station

Wi\S willing to keep h.im on probation, but believed his recall would

be the best solution. A .suggested altern;a.tive was to put him in

Stanleyville to try to obtain immediate intelligence on that area.

In~ atternpt to reconstruct events, Africa Division was apprised

o( the above and was asked to .search its records in an attempt to

clarity what WlROGUE was up to in the Congo and ~is rc!crcnce to~

''execution squad." The research cUd not clarify the· matter to any

great extent, althougl-t some assumptions can be anade on the basis o(

circumstantial evidence. On 19 S~pt.:mber 1960, two meml.Jers ol

Africa Divi sion met with WIROGUE to discuss an operational assign-

ment in that division. In connection with the a ss ignment, h.: was to

be trained in d emolitions, small arms, :tnd m e d k al inunWlization.

REPRODUCED AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES

OJW1N

According to statements by a senior CIA officer in 1967, made

to the Inspector General, the Agency was instructed to develop a

capability to conduct assassinations. Termed an "executive action

capability," such a project was initiated in 1961, apparently assuming

an existing cryptonym, ZRRIFLE. At the request of the case officer

(the same officer providing this information in 1967), a clandestine

asset in Europe,· QJWIN, was to be used ·in the project. The case . .

officer understood that QJWIN ·had been considered in 1960 .for use .. in the assassination of Patrice Lwnwnba, but that the proposed

oper~tion was never carried out because the designated CIA case

officer declined the assignment.

The case officer in charge of ZRRIFLE also was involved in a.n

operation to assassinate Fidel Castro, running from early 1962 to

mid-1963. However, QJWIN was not used in this effort, reliance

b~ing placed instead on a Cuban exile leader. QJWIN was never

briefed on the C~strc;> operation, according to the officer handling

Lumwnba was still alive, albeit under arrest, as of the tniddle

of January 1961, and it seems clear that QJWIN had left the Congo

in December 1960. A 19 Dece.mber cable to Leopoldville authorizes

his return to [ Jon Z 1 December and instructs[.

to pay him 1000 dollars for December salary, which is the final

payment for his services on this ope'tation. Also, headquarters was

working out the details of a Congo assignment. An 11 January 1961

headquarters memorandum, which refers to T I A's dated Z 1 December

1960, states that the referenced amounts were given to QJWIN by the

that his only assignment since January 1962 has been to establish

cover.

Agency officers who were handling QJWIN in Europe were almost

certainly unaware of the fact that he was being considered as an asset

by the senior Agency official who had begun to become active in

February 196Z in the assassination plot against Castro. An undated

(EYES ONLY) memorandUin from the Deputy Director (Plans) refers

to a 19. February 196Z memorandum and authorizes the retention of

the services of QJWIN in activities which we have identified as

coincidential with the assassination plot against Castro. The date of

the reference memorandum coincides with the time that the senior

Agency official became actively involved in this enterprise. A

memorandum of Z7 June i963 dealing with the further handling of

QJWIN mentions that this enterprise has been terminated, except

for one precautionary "life line. "

In summary, it is almost certain that QJWIN had nothing at all

to do with the assassination of Lumumba, even though the contents and

language of available files are often cryptic and imprecise. If he had

been, it is highly unlikely that the number of Agency officers handling

and contemplating assignments for him would have been so large. The

assassination plot. AlUlough the Chief t_ }vas

to his briefing in late 196 ~-

While QJWIN was considered for use in the "executive action

ever been approached in this regard, much less used i n any of the

planning.

was in no way involved in the assassination of Luznwnba. However,

t in the course of our research, two aspects of the Lutnwnba story !

surfaced that indicate Agency involvement in a plot. In the one

instance, our 1967 source mentioned the name of an Agency officer

who was designated as the case officer for an assassination plot

against Luznwnba, but report~d that he had declined the assignment.

That officer was the originator of a 19 December. 1960 cable to

Leopoldville in which he authorized the return of QJWIN tp

Jon Zl December to await further instructions CW:d the

payment of 1000 dollars to him for his December salary by C. J The last paragraph of the cable advises

Leopoldville that headquarters is working out the details of a Congo

assignment for QJWIN. The same 9fficer was the originator of a

31 January 1961 memorandum dealing with payments to QJWIN •

. In the second instance; a 17 December 1960 cable from

Leopoldville deals with the activities of a newly recruited agent,

WIROGUE, whose mission was to try to spot persons for a

surveillance team, intelligence assets[;

J and paramilitary assets. The second paragraph of the

cable mentions that he resided li1 the same hotel as QJWIN (although

neither knew of the others CIA connection) and that he approached r·-~ ~.-·· .

the latter on I • em r liars per month to

participate in an intelligence net and to be a member of an "execution

squad. 11 When QJWIN said that he was not interested~ WIROGUE

added that there would be bonuses 'for special jobs. The cable

mentioned in paragraph 6 that the Station was concerned with the free

wheel:IDg of WIROGUE~ his lack of security~ his inability to handle

finances, and his unwillingness to follow instructions. The Station

was willing to keep him on probation, but believed his recall would

be the best solution. A suggested alternative was to put him in

In an attempt to reconstruct events~ Africa Division was apprised

of the above and was asked to search its records _in an attempt to

clarify wh-at WIROGUE was up to in the Congo and his reference to an

"execution squad. " The research did not clarify the. matter to any

great extent, although some assumptions can be made on the basis of

-circumstantial evidence. On 19 September 1960~ two members of

. Africa Division met with WIROGUE to discuss an operational assign-

ment in that division. In connection with the assignment~ he was to

be trained in demolitions~ small arms, and medical immunization.

In October 1960, a cable to Leopold~ille stated that he was being

prepared for a deep c_over assignment to arrive Leopoldville late

ments requiring positive action. -His utilization is not to be restricted

to Leopoldville. Indeed, he may be subject to call by other African

stations although it is expected for him to be resident in Leopoldville. 11

WIROGUE arrived in Leopoldville on 2 December 1960. His case

"officer gave him the following instructions: (a) to build cover[

Ja.nd (b) to try. to spot persons for a

surveillance team, intelligence assets a.n4.~aramilitary assets.

Shortly after arrival, WIROGUE ran into QJWIN, who later told the I

station that WIROG UE looked like an inte11:igence agent. In attempting ·

to recruit QJWIN for his "execution squad", WIROGUE exceeded his

instructions to avoid making approaches without checking with

Leopoldville Station.

In January 1961, at the request of the Leopoldville Station,

WIROGUE was given p~rmission to t~e flying lessons. [

(

) He departed Leopold ville (

] and his CIA

contract was terminated in Septeniber 1961.

Africa Division believes that WIROGUE was recruited for his

Congo assigmnent because of his third country national background

in order to establish a support mechanism in Leopoldville. At the

time the Congo was in chaos, we had few assets there, and the

likeliliood existed that the political situation ~ould degene.i:-ate

quickly. The Station possibly also wanted to have a latent paramilitary

capability. An October 1964 assessment of WIROGUE indicates little

~'. flap potential with him since he knew little about the Agency. He spent

most of his time trying to de¥elop contacts and was not directly involved

in any particular operation.

1. No me moranc.lum can b~ located cove ring the August 10, 1')62 meeting; how~vcr, it is hi~hly probable that one exists.

2. ~teetings of Auciust 8 or 9, 1962, in th~ rr,s Qper~tionq Roo , ... (Pentago-:i) and August 10, 1962, in Secret<!.ry Rusk's Conference Room we:::-e for t'ne: pt!rpose of considering staff proposals for Phase II of opera­wn-b4.(d.l~:1e~5f:i-:--.,-.J his ope ration wa s u n d~ r the d i r e c ti on o f G e n.~s;....r;r:..;aw· I~.-------...

• T tici :J.tio!'l {under FitzGerald} . . tone meetings --probably the meeting in the JCS Room --I recall a suggestion being made to liquida te top p~ople in the Castro ;t·egime, ipch·diAg C;u;;tro I t ook im:nec.liate exception to this suggestion. stating that the subject \las completely out of bounds as far as the USG and CIA were concerned and the idea should not be discussed nor s-hould it appear in any p;J.pe1·s , as the USG could not consider scch actions on mbral or ethical g;-ouncls.

3. Imntedi:J.tely after the meeting, I ca.Eed on Secretary l\.1cNamc>.:ra personc.lly and re-emphasized my position, in ·which h-:! heartily agreed. I d~d this bccau:;e operation MONGOOSC --an intcr-d(~p2."i·trr.c:tt;J..l affair was unGer the ope rational control of DOD through t~e JCS.

4. At no time did the :;uggestion receive serious consider2.tion by the Special Group (augmented) cor by any individual responsible fo:::­policy.

5. Through the years the Cl.!ba n problem was discussed 1n terms such as st!"o " " remove a. " "knock off Castro " etc., and this meant the ove rthrow of th~ Communi~t Government in Cuba. and the replacing o( it with a der:1ocratic regime . Terms scch as lhe abo .. ·e C!.pp~ar in r-1any workir.g papc r s , :nc mor2.ncla for the r~cord, c tc. • and, as stated, all refer to a change in l}.c Cuban Gov~rnme nt 7

St!::::3JECT: CIA Connections with Oq;c.ni7. c d Crime

\'tit!, o:1c c~ccption CIA h~s had no ~onncctio:1 with crg::r.nized crime. It coes not cpnc!ut:t ~nd has not conducted pro~rams related to foreign CO!!.<!CCtious wi[h urganb:ecl crirne in lhe United Slate::;. If, in the course of normal co~ntcr!r.tclJigctH.:e operatic:"ls abroa d, t!tis type of information. co~e.s to the c.ttenlioa of the 1\gc:lcy, norr-:1~1 pror:edure provides for its tr2ns1nitt~l to the Fcder<'-1 Bureau of Investigation. ·

'!;'rom August 1960 until June 1963, CIA attempted to ~~.rry-0ut a sensitive opcrat.iQ[~in Cuba through individuals who ~ither had COJ!ncctio"ns ~1ifu cr ·were 1:1ernbc1·s of organi'l.ed crime. At the beginning of the opera­tio:l, the syndicate still had gatnbling operations in Cub<'. c.nd , <'-S a result, had cc~t;:>cts i:1 that country. It: was inl.:!ndcd that thi!i ~CC•!ss he used in th~ partic~lar operation. The attcrn~t to us-e the Sj":lcl!t:ale' s coulacts in Cuba ended i~ e a rly J.961 but the key figure in the U:1iled States continued to be involv ecl ln a later atten1pt to wad{. tlu·ough ~ Cub2n refugee who had no other CO!'!t~cts ~;ith or~a:1ized crime. The desired access never ma.terialized, 'nd the operation wc;.s terminated fonnally in 1963.

2. ~!eetings of Au6ust 8 or 9, 1962, in th~ rr,s Ovs; r:!.tion·j Rpm,..... (Pent.ago!'l) and August 10, 1962, in Secretary Rusk's Conference Room v1e:-e for the: purpose of considering staff p:x::oposals for Phase II of opera-

his operation .... -,as und!::r the direction of Ge · . T rtic i :J.tio!"l ( unc!e r FitzGerald) .

. tone meetin6s --probably the meeting in the JCS Room --I recall a suggestion being made to liquidate top peo[Jle in the Castr_Q__ :regime, incl,·ding C•u;tlio, I took im:nec..Iiate e x ce?tion to this suggestion, stating that the subject \las completely out of bounds as far as the USG and CIA were concerned and the idea should not be discussed nor s-hould it appear in an:r papers, as the USG could not consider such actions on moral or ethical g;-ound$.

3. Imntedi:J.tcly after the meeting, I cal!ed on Secretary l\.1cNa.m?.ra personally and re-emphasized my position, in which h-:! heartily agreed. I d!.d this because operation MONGOOSE: --an intcr-dep2.'i· t:rr.c:tt:J.l affair '" was unc!er the operational control of DOD through the JCS.

4. At no time did the suggestion receive serious consideration

by the Special Group (augmented} ~or by any indi•ridual responsible fo:­policy.

5. Through the years the Ct!ban problem was discuss~d Hl terms such as_.:.:disFJeas of Castro," ''remove Cas ll;.Q,. " "knock off Castro, 11 etc., and this meant the overthrow of the Communi!it Government in Cuba and the replacing o( it with a der.1ocratic regime. Terms such as lhe abo .. ·c 2.pp~ar in r.1any workir.g pa pc rs, :nc r.~orancla for the r-=:cord, c tc. , and. as stated, all refer to a change in t}.c Cuban Govc!rnment:-

If, in the course of normal co:.mtcr!r.tclJigen<:c operations abroad, t!tis type of information co!"::!e:; to the ~ttenlioa of the Age:-tcy, nor~al pror.:edurc provides for its t ranstnittal to the Fcderc.l Bureau of Investigation.

From August 1960 until June 1963, CIA attempted to r..arry out a s~sitiv~opcrati~in Cuba through individuals who ~ither had co.nncct!o'ns v1ifh c r '\~.: ere IT!embcrs of organir.ed c:;:ime. At the be~inr.ing of the opera­tio:l, the syndicate still had ga1nbling operations in Ccb<'.. c.nd, c>.s a result, had cc~t;Jcts in that country. It was int.:!ndcd that thi.5 acc•!SS be used in tha p2rtlc~lar operation. The a.ttem:pt to c:c the Sj";tclicalc' s coul.J.ct!i in Cuba <-ndcd i~ e a rly J.961 but the key figure in the U!1ilcd States continued to be involved in a later attempt to wot·k tlu·ough ~ C uban refugee who had no other cor1t~cts with or~a:.ized crime. The desired access never ma.terializcd, and the operation WC\.s terminated formally in 1963.

On 13 March 1975 a search of available documents was made to determine the reason for th~ comment in paragraph 2 of a 17 December . l960 cable from Leopoldville indicating that WIROGUE/1 had attempted to recruit a European to be a member .of: "an ex·ecution squad."

It is the Hr{ter's opinion that WIROGUE/1 was recruited for his Congo·assignment because of his third country nationil background in order to establish a support mechanism Leopoldville. At the time the Congo was in chaos, had few asseti and there was some likelihood that 1tc ical situation would degenerate quickly.
