AMONG his numerous "heroic feats," the terrorist pediatrician
                   accused U.S. President John F. Kennedy of turning his back on the
                   anti-Castro community in a pamphlet titled "The Cuban Tragedy,"
                   sent to the White House in May 1963.

                   Later, in prison in Venezuela, under suspicion of being linked to the
                   Kennedy assassination, and even of having accompanied Lee Harvey
                   Oswald (who was accused of killing Kennedy), Orlando Bosch had to
                   respond to questions put to him by aides on the Congressional
                   Committee investigating the issue.

                   A commentary in the Congressional Committee’s final report draws a
                   somber portrait of that character: "Orlando Bosch, a zealot, turned
                   out to be the most aggressive and volatile of the anti-Castro
                   leaders. That alone could validly raise the question of possible
                   association with the assassination of President Kennedy. In addition,
                   the Committee was presented with an allegation that specifically
                   linked him to a conspiracy, but an investigation failed to support the
                   claim that Bosch had been in Dallas in November 1963 in the
                   company of Lee Harvey Oswald. When asked, Bosch told the
                   Committee he was at his home in Miami when he learned President
                   Kennedy had been shot."

                   Bosch also refused to confess before congressional investigators his
                   participation in the Cubana airline sabotage, but affirmed that he
                   approved of it.

                   He declared that terrorism is a necessary evil and that "sometimes,
                   injuring innocent people cannot be avoided."
