The assassination of John F Kennedy on November 22, 1963 remains one of the world's most enduring mysteries

The declassification of 80,000 documents by the Donald Trump administration has revived many conspiracy theories

A key revelation hints that a CIA faction may have been involved in Kennedy's assassination

According to the declassified documents, the night after the assassination, intelligence officer J Garrett Underhill fled Washington in distress

Underhill allegedly told a friend that a "small clique" within the CIA was responsible for Kennedy's assassination

"[Lee Harvey] Oswald is a patsy," he allegedly said, insisting that the real perpetrators had "done something outrageous"

Less than six months later, on May 8, 1964, Underhill was found dead months later in his Washington apartment with a gunshot wound to his head. His death was declared as suicide

The documents fuel doubts about Lee Harvey Oswald's role. While the official record states that Oswald acted alone, inconsistencies remain

The files also cite a man called Samuel George Cummings, an arms dealer with intelligence connections

There's no direct link but Cummings' activities have raised questions about the events leading up to the JFK assassination

Another enduring mystery is why Jack Ruby - a Dallas nightclub owner with reported ties to organised crime - shot Oswald two days after the assassination

Ruby's trial and his subsequent death from cancer in custody have only deepened suspicions

The "magic bullet" theory - that a single bullet hit both Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally - is widely seen as implausible
