Operation Northwoods was a false flag conspiracy plan that was proposed within the United States government in 1962. It called for CIA or other operatives to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against the Castro-led Cuba. One plan was to "develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington".
The plan states:
The desired resultant from the execution of this plan would be to place the United States in the apparent position of suffering defensible grievances from a rash and irresponsible government of Cuba and to develop an international image of a Cuban threat to peace in the Western Hemisphere."
Operation Northwoods was drafted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and signed by Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer, and sent to the Secretary of Defense. It was never officially accepted or executed.
