Was Oswald innocent in his work of killing President John F. Kennedy? Was he the lone assassin? Or was he part of a larger conspiracy? Evidence proves that Lee Oswald was part of a larger conspiracy. Not only was Oswald guilty of handling a gun and possibly assassinating Kennedy, there was also Jack Ruby, Christian David, and the grassy knoll to think about.
On Friday, November 22, 1963, while enroute to the Dallas airport, President John Fitzgearald Kennedy was fatally shot. ABC's newsanchor Walter Cronkite said that it would be "a day that will live in infamy." The reason that that fateful Friday is still talked about is the controversy surrounding the assassination. The official investigators determined that the president was killed by a lone gunman, but every single piece of evidence from eye witnesses to forensic evidence points to at 2 or more gunmen, and a conspiracy, possibly involving government officials. According to the Warren Commission Report : Report of President's Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, published in 1964,
Bang! Three gunshots rang out when all attention was placed on the motionless body of John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the united states, which his head has been severely wounded. The man most known for negotiating the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty and initiated the Alliance for Progress was assassinated in front of the public in Dallas. He was killed as if it was a public execution with Henry Oswald, JFK’s assassin, as the executioner. This was one of the most devastating deaths in America. Most assassinations are done because of personal opinion on a person. However, former president, JFK, assassination was absolutely not an exception. JFK’s assassination was not justified for the reason is that he impacted America’s politics and lifestyle, he had big plans, and was killed without a clear motive.
Al Qaeda was founded in 1988 by the most wanted terrorist in America, Osama Bin Laden, to bring together Arabs who fought in Afghanistan against the Soviet Invasion. Al Qaeda works with allied Islamic extremist groups to take over regimes it deems "non-Islamic" and remove Westerners from Muslin countries. The organization first began with three members and now there are approximately 200 to 1,000 current members. Al-Qaeda began to construct and offer training camps and guesthouses to its recruits; while they also attempted to pull in U.S. citizens for financial, communication, and operation reasons for the benefit of Al-Qaeda and its other affiliations. By 1990 Al-Qaeda was providing military and intelligence training in various areas including Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Sudan.
Was Oswald a lone assassin, part of a larger conspiracy or was he innocent? The evidence in fact will support that he was in fact he may have been innocent.
