and according to Castro's bodyguard,
据卡斯特罗的警卫，
the CIA plotted 638 times to sabotage him

trying things like chemical powder on his boots,

a bacterial-lined scuba suit, spiked cigars, and exploding cigars.

But, the closest the CIA came to killing Castro?

Poisoning his chocolate milkshake at his favorite ice cream parlor.

I mean, it gets hot in Cuba.

So, the CIA convinced mafia members to carry out the plot.
