Experts reviewing the files stated that the time interval between shots and the bolt-action rifle\u2019s mechanics do not support the theory that Oswald acted alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"ContentRenderer_paragraph__B2z36\">In addition, the documents point to CIA involvement with anti-Castro groups based in Miami and New Orleans during 1963. Experts stated that the CIA\u2019s extensive activity with these groups may have been used to influence Oswald\u2019s actions or public perception surrounding them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Image_wrapper__1NP9g Image_wrapper-vertical__PwZAR\">\n<div class=\"Image_container__oHMMQ\">\n<div class=\"Image_ref__XcBnw\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/imgproxy.amomama.com\/jr4tHM0Y1p5dLanQumnMjqxf9In47nPgnTO1Ky8IPIA\/rs:fill:375:0:1\/g:no\/aHR0cHM6Ly9jZG4uYW1vbWFtYS5jb20vNTUxYTNmYjFkYTRmMDAxOTZlMmM4ZDZlZTMxOGZjYjZlMWNhNTZhYmQ4MmUwNzBkMGMzYTViMWQxMTRiZjEyYi5qcGc_d2lkdGg9MjIwOCZoZWlnaHQ9MzY0MQ.jpg 375w,https:\/\/imgproxy.amomama.com\/L_drKZZnp7xX0CaTn0efKOmneOojRPz8tE4mFHEOF48\/rs:fill:576:0:1\/g:no\/aHR0cHM6Ly9jZG4uYW1vbWFtYS5jb20vNTUxYTNmYjFkYTRmMDAxOTZlMmM4ZDZlZTMxOGZjYjZlMWNhNTZhYmQ4MmUwNzBkMGMzYTViMWQxMTRiZjEyYi5qcGc_d2lkdGg9MjIwOCZoZWlnaHQ9MzY0MQ.jpg 576w,https:\/\/imgproxy.amomama.com\/x8Fu_beTYmhUke2qzVdoOccGAdUzGI1rBnMiPdrobVA\/rs:fill:768:0:1\/g:no\/aHR0cHM6Ly9jZG4uYW1vbWFtYS5jb20vNTUxYTNmYjFkYTRmMDAxOTZlMmM4ZDZlZTMxOGZjYjZlMWNhNTZhYmQ4MmUwNzBkMGMzYTViMWQxMTRiZjEyYi5qcGc_d2lkdGg9MjIwOCZoZWlnaHQ9MzY0MQ.jpg 768w,https:\/\/imgproxy.amomama.com\/LLLLXyCdnXXciR4Xi6MpoNsgLw3pWVZLp1choz3cGT8\/rs:fill:992:0:1\/g:no\/aHR0cHM6Ly9jZG4uYW1vbWFtYS5jb20vNTUxYTNmYjFkYTRmMDAxOTZlMmM4ZDZlZTMxOGZjYjZlMWNhNTZhYmQ4MmUwNzBkMGMzYTViMWQxMTRiZjEyYi5qcGc_d2lkdGg9MjIwOCZoZWlnaHQ9MzY0MQ.jpg 992w,https:\/\/imgproxy.amomama.com\/zWg-q3gVcrrAX0hFKWSuOTMlOUgaIobAAAmfmWa_kbg\/rs:fill:1200:0:1\/g:no\/aHR0cHM6Ly9jZG4uYW1vbWFtYS5jb20vNTUxYTNmYjFkYTRmMDAxOTZlMmM4ZDZlZTMxOGZjYjZlMWNhNTZhYmQ4MmUwNzBkMGMzYTViMWQxMTRiZjEyYi5qcGc_d2lkdGg9MjIwOCZoZWlnaHQ9MzY0MQ.jpg 1200w\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 835px) 90.96402087338643vw, (max-width: 1279px) 581px, 581px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image_image__11E9V Image_post-image__qnTn0\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.amomama.com\/551a3fb1da4f00196e2c8d6ee318fcb6e1ca56abd82e070d0c3a5b1d114bf12b.jpg\" alt=\"Studio Portrait of Lee Harvey Oswald, circa 1950 | Source: Getty Images\" width=\"2208\" height=\"3641\" \/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"Image_title__T6_we\" data-testid=\"image-source\">Studio Portrait of Lee Harvey Oswald, circa 1950 | Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"ContentRenderer_paragraph__B2z36\">One expert\u00a0<a class=\"Link_link__PUK08 Link_link__kvrlb\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vZ1wD9c19K8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vZ1wD9c19K8\">noted<\/a>, \u201cThis is like a big jigsaw puzzle\u2026 now we\u2019re starting to connect all this information,\u201d citing the unredacted materials linking individuals and operations in Miami, Mexico City, and elsewhere.
