1. Before Oswald was shot, a 'calm' voice told the FBI a 'committee' was to kill him
2. The FBI then demanded twice that Dallas PD protect Oswald, the memos say
3. But that didn't happen - to the annoyance of Hoover who said it was 'inexcusable'
4. Hoover's remarks were unsealed along with almost 3,000 other JFK documents
5. He also worried about conspiracy theories, and hoped to quell public distrust
6. The Soviet Union thought LBJ or the right wing had killed Kennedy
7. And the Cuban ambassador was gleeful at the president's slaying 

Hoover said the feds told Dallas PD twice to protect Oswald, but the man
 was still gunned down by small-time crook Jack Ruby (pictured); Hoover
said that was 'inexcusable'

"The murder of Lee Harvey Oswald could have been prevented after the FBI were warned of his impending death - but Dallas police failed to protect him, it has emerged.

"Nearly 3,000 documents related to JFK's shooting have been declassified by The White House, among them remarks made by then-FBI boss J Edgar Hoover the day Oswald died.

"According to Hoover, the FBI were contacted by a man who said a 'committee' was plotting to kill Oswald, who had been arrested for killing the president; the feds then told police in Dallas to protect the presidential assassin.

"Instead, Oswald was walked out in front of a crowd, cameras - and local nightclub owner Jack Ruby, who marched out and shot him dead." . . .

. . . "They certainly didn't believe that Oswald - a 'neurotic maniac who was disloyal to his own country and everything else' - was the killer, the notes claimed.

"'Our source further stated that Soviet officials were fearful that without leadership, some irresponsible general in the United States might launch a missile at the Soviet Union,' a note says.

"The documents also say that the Cuban ambassador to the US met the news of Kennedy's murder with a 'happy delight'. 

"It's not clear how Ruby might have got into the basement that Oswald was being transported through when he was shot." . . .
