CIA publishes documents concerning KGB defector Yuri Nosenko

American intelligence has published another portion of documents concerning murder of US president John Kennedy, TASS reports. Thousands of papers archived under wraps saw the light including the documents about the ex-KGB agent Yuri Nosenko. In the sixties, during his trip to the West, the son of shipbuilding industry’s minister of the Soviet Union sought refuge in CIA, by that time he had been collaborating with CIA for already several years. Nosenko fled abroad and died about ten years ago in age of eighty.

His interrogation sessions and other multiple materials have been published. Nosenko commented that he had been supervising Oswald from the Soviet Union and could have stopped the murderer of Kennedy.

CIA suspected Nosenko as a double agent. Another reason of his supposed infiltration could be an attempt of USSR to persuade Washington that Moscow had nothing to do with Kennedy’s murder.

It is worth reminding that FBI had revealed the sources stating the reaction of KGB and Foreign Ministry to Kennedy’s death. Moscow believed that Kennedy was killed as a result of plot involving Lyndon Johnson who took the President’s office after Kennedy’s death. KGB commissioned its agents to find out detailed information about this politician.

During Kennedy’s murder investigation, there was a version of Soviet traces in this case, however this version was not proved.
