CLAUDIA FURIATI'S
PUBLISHED DOCUMENTS
[Reference:
Two books called ZR authored by Claudia Furiati, one in
Portuguese the other in English]
Claudia Furiati published her findings on the assassination
of
President Kennedy in two books, one in Portuguese titled
"ZR" O RIFLE
QUE MATOU KENNEDY, 1993, and the other in English titled ZR
RIFLE: THE
PLOT TO KILL KENNEDY AND CASTRO, 1994. Each book had
documents
reproduced in the back, many being internal Cuban documents
in Spanish.
[NOTE: The acronym "ZR" comes from the CIA code name
ZR/RIFLE which designated the CIA-Mafia plots to kill
Castro.]
However, in comparing the documents in both versions of her
book, the
Portuguese has 19 documents while the English version has
only
12. Both versions of the book contained documents
which the other
lacked.
The following is a list containing the entire set of
documents. The Spanish documents (Cuban internal
documents) have
been translated into English. A notation after each document
description indicates which language the original document
was
presented. The documents were either in English or
Spanish.
Only the index to the documents was in Portuguese and has
been
translated as best as can be.
One document printed only in the Portuguese edition which is
not listed
below is an affidavit in Spanish signed by Fabian Escalante
Font
affirming that all the Cuban documents are authentic.
This
affidavit
was printed on pages 155-56 and is not translated but
left in the original Spanish. It preceded 19 very good
quality
photographs.
