Enrique Ruíz-Williams

Enrique (Harry) Ruíz-Williams was a Cuban-born exile living in the United States who was second in command of the heavy weapons battalion of Brigade 2506 during the Bay of Pigs Invasion. During the invasion, Williams unsuccessfully attempted a point-blank range assassination of Fidel Castro. Williams infamously set a quota during the invasion that each man of his unit should kill at least fifteen enemy combatants. His father was also at some point the Minister of Public Works.

After discovering that there were no Americans in the house, Castro had Williams and the rest of the recovering men moved to the hospital at Covadonga. By May Day of 1961, Williams had been moved to the hospital at Matanzas.

CIA After the last Brigade 2506 prisoners were returned to the United States, Williams was involved in the CIA's efforts in the Caribbean region and Latin America in some capacity. Both of his handlers, E. Howard Hunt and James W. McCord Jr., asked Williams to call them "Don Eduardo." However, Bobby told Williams over the phone that "One of your men did this." It is as yet unclear who Bobby was referring to.

Williams and many other members of the failed Bay of Pigs operation planned alongside the Central Intelligence Agency and the Kennedy brothers a second invasion of Cuba called AMWORLD – but this operation was cancelled after the assassination of President Kennedy. This operation was also sabotaged by the Mafia.
