The Battle of Fort Trax

After the victory of the revolution in 1959, an assassination program against Fidel Castro was institutionalized by the U.S. The method was to be poison pills. By the middle of 1960 the CIA's technical services division was hard at work experimenting on guinea pigs and monkeys drawing up both the poison pills themselves and a separate backup plan to lace Castro cigars with a botulinum toxin. Meanwhile their point man for this operation Chicago gangster Samjian Kana was openly boasting of his importance to the CIA.
