Our Point of Interest is in the Assassination attempts on his life, 638 seems to be an awful figure for such a topic of discussion, notable in these attempts is the CIA trying to make him smoke a Cuban cigarette laced with explosives 'Operation Mongoose'. Castro insulted a world power by the conflict on 'Bay of Pigs' when he captured about 1000 troops, his non-aligned posture in the Cold War and the trade support he got from the Soviet Union was perceived as
