Cryptonym: LITAINT-2
104-10414-10124: MEXICO CITY STATION HISTORY
LITAINT-2 was 201-275934. This agent was recruited by Hazlett on April 28, 1960, right when his friend LITAINT-1 had defected to the US by crossing into Laredo, Texas. Cuban-born in 1930, with a Mexican mother, LITAINT-2 "had lived in Mexico City since 1957 and was a salesman for a television firm when he was contacted by Hazlett. (Due to his friendship with L-1), he knew all of the Cuban diplomats and many of them patronized the store where he worked. Hazlett developed LITAINT-2 for access to Cuban intelligence officers. In 1962, LITAINT-2 was also used to direct a harassment team of lower-level agents (LITAINT 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12). This harassment team developed confusion at the Cuban embassy...By late 1963, the station discontinued these operations because they had come under the eye of the Mexican Security Service and the Cuban Ambassador was protesting loudly that it was the work of the American Ambassador." LITAINT-2 was also close friends with LITAMIL-1.
