SEN. TED KENNEDY was on multiple hit lists including Chicago mafia crime lord AL CAPONE’ s son after the dual assassinations of his brothers John and Robert Kennedy.
Three weeks after Sen. Robert Kennedy was assassinated in 1968, the son of Al "Scarface" Capone was overheard drunkenly threatening that Teddy Kennedy might "get it too."
The Capone slay threat was only one of thousands revealed in newly-released secret FBI files on Teddy that have just been made public.
In what has become known as “The Capone Threat” breathlessly whispered in a Miami payphone, Kennedy slay theorists rubbed their hands in anticipation as details leaked.
The Capone Threat is most notable because of persistent theories that the mob was involved in the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy – a possible hit ordered by New Orleans mafia capo Carlos Marcello in a deal made with an anti-Kennedy pro-Castro cabal of bigwig corporate execs.
According to the more than 1,400 documents released by the FBI report, The Capone Threat occurred 9:20 P.M. June 24, 1968, as a man overheard Albert Capone AKA “Sonny” drop dimes in a public payphone at the notorious New England Oyster House, in Coral Gables, Florida.
Eavesdroppers told Feds that Capone warned his unidentified pal, "If Edward Kennedy keeps fooling around he was going to get IT, too."
The FBI report says a patron, a cashier and a waitress heard the call which Capone made no effort to hush.
Capone ID-ed himself when he told the operator to bill the long distance call to his Palm Island home.
He "appeared intoxicated," the report also stated.
The FBI alerted the Secret Service and local Miami cops, but the threat investigation seems to have stopped there.
Despite being the son of the king of crime, Sonny Capone, who died in 2004, apparently eked out a seemingly lawful existence — working various odd jobs including florist and tire salesman.
Or so the public file reads………
