John F. Kennedy Jr. — Murdered By The Mob

John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a tragic 1991 plane crash — but FBI sources say the death of John F. Kennedy's son was really ordered by the Mafia!

“The Mob had the murder planned for years,” an FBI intelligence insider revealed to The National ENQUIRER, which gained access to top-secret documents, adding: “The investigation behind this report proves that the plane was sabotaged. JFK Jr. was killed because he refused to back down from the Mafia!”

After the plane JFK Jr. was piloting went down over Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., on July 16, 1999 — killing him, his wife Carolyn Bessette and her sister Lauren — authorities blamed John-John’s cockpit inexperience. Now it can be told that the Mob tampered with the Piper Saratoga light aircraft to fulfill a decades-long vendetta against John F. Kennedy Sr., and prevent his son from discovering some terrible truths.

Prior to the 1960 election, the Mob helped JFK get elected by rigging votes and providing a flow of secret cash. In return, JFK vowed to help them regain gambling operations in Cuba lost when Fidel Castro took power in 1959. The report says, however, that JFK later betrayed the mobsters when he failed to fully provide military support for their failed invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs in April 1961.

The secret dossier also confirms reports that the Mob was furious after the President allowed his brother, then-Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, to go after organized crime. The papers cite scorned New Orleans gangsters Carlos Marcello, Santos Trafficante Jr. and Sam Giancana (pictured) as the Mob bosses who set out to get revenge by hiring a hitman to kill the President.

“They didn’t pull the trigger,” said a government source. “They had guys for that. And soldiers of that ilk also killed John Jr.” The remaining mobsters were motivated by more than revenge, as well. John Jr., obsessed with learning the facts about his father’s death, had asked then-President Bill Clinton for his support in getting his father’s body exhumed.

The Mob feared its involvement would finally be revealed, and moved forward to shut John Jr. up, once and for all! Sources say John Jr. — seen here mourning his father's death with sister Caroline and mother Jacqueline Kennedy — had already been warned the FBI had thwarted an earlier plot to kill him. Still, “John and his passengers could not have known they would be flying to their deaths,” the intelligence agent said.

“An explosives expert,” claimed the insider, “was paid $50,000 to plant an altitude-sensitive bomb on his plane when it was parked at the airport in Fairfield, New Jersey.” And so John, 38; Carolyn, 33; and Lauren, 34, met their ends over the Atlantic Ocean as they began their descent on Hyannis Port, Mass.

According to the source, the murders were so secretive, even the hit man was left in the dark — and high and dry: “The guy didn’t know whose plane it was, and he didn’t get a chance to spend the cash. He didn’t live long enough himself!”
