Files on the Kennedy assassination have revealed that a reporter in Cambridge was tipped off about “some big news” before the killing ABBIE ROWE/EPAA British local newspaper was alerted to “some big news” in the United States 25 minutes before President John F Kennedy was killed, it has emerged. A memo to the director of the FBI said an anonymous phone call was made to the senior reporter at the Cambridge News on the day Kennedy was shot in 1963. “The caller said only that the Cambridge News reporter should call the American embassy in London for some big news and then hung up,” the document said. Details of the call were revealed as thousands of secret files on the Kennedy case were made public last night. When news of the assassination broke, the reporter contacted Cambridge police, who in turn alerted MI5.
