Jimmy "the Weisel" Frattiano claimed that Giancana (the then Boss of Bosses out of Chicago) gave the go ahead for Marcello (of New Orleans) to carry out the assassination. It involved Castro (who had a grudge after finding out the CIA was behind the Bay of Pigs Invastion) so he got a patsy (Oswald) from the Russians to carry-out the deed. Marcello's beef was a result of RFK's investigations into organized crime. To cover the link to the Mafia, Marcello had Jack Ruby (a two bit night club owner in the Marcello organization) take out Oswald to seal his lips.
Giancana's beef with JFK was his impression that JFK renigged on promises to leave the Mafia alone since he felt he pulled strings in Chicago to get him elected.
Several weeks before the assassination, Oswald met with Cuban agents in Mexico. For inexplicable reasons, the FBI agents who were following up the Cuban connection as a part of the Warren Commission investigation, were recalled

The Warren Commission, which investigated the assassination, declared that Lee Harvey Oswald killed President Kennedy and that he acted alone.
Many people, however, believe there is conflicting evidence, and that JFK was killed by more than one shooter. There is a whole, huge body of consipacy theories surrounding his death.

IMO- Oswald, acting on the orders of the USSR. Possibly with the "intermediary" of Cuba. Reason? To get even after the blockade of Cuba
Exactly the same mechanism was used in the assassination attempt on Pope JP2 (except for the elimination of the trigger man)
Oswald was a good choice- being ex US military. His soviet connections were not very prominent, and could be easilly denied.

Sometimes I feel we have to point the finger at the individual him or herself... Being from their own actions or non actions. There are many questions in this life that will never actually be answered.
