Oswald Brother Says There Was No JFK Plot

[kskiska]

NEW YORK (AP) - The shooting of President John F. Kennedy was not a political conspiracy but an almost spontaneous act by a troubled man who wanted attention, the brother of Lee Harvey Oswald says.

``If you go right down the line and look at it, all the facts will point to Lee's involvement. Lee actually committed the crime, period,'' Robert Oswald told ABC.

``The reason Lee went after the president is because of opportunity and no other. If he wasn't working where he was working or if the president's car wasn't going by there at that particular time, it wouldn't have happened. It wasn't a master plan or anything. There's no shadowy figures out there. He wanted to be somebody and this opportunity came about coincidentally, nothing planned, nothing organized.''

Asked about his brother's denial after his arrest, Robert Oswald, who wrote ``Lee: A Portrait of Lee Harvey Oswald'' but rarely gives interviews, said his brother ``was basically saying `I'm smarter than you. You gotta catch me.'''

Robert Oswald also described his last meeting with his brother, in jail the morning after Kennedy's death, a day before Lee Harvey Oswald was shot to death by nightclub owner Jack Ruby.

``I was looking into his eyes, searching for some sign,'' Robert Oswald told NBC. ``And he just looked back at me, and finally he said, 'Brother, you won't find anything there.' And he was absolutely correct. there was no emotion. There was no flicker in the eye.''
