Minutes before the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy, a British newspaper received a mysterious call, according to information in the JFK case files that were released Thursday, Cambridge News reports.
A memo to the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation showed that a call was made to the senior reporter at the Cambridge News at 6:05 p.m. on Nov. 22, 1963, the day Kennedy was shot.
According to Cambridge News, the memo read: "The British Security Service (MI-5) has reported that at 1805 GMT on 22 November an anonymous telephone call was made in Cambridge, England, to the senior reporter of the Cambridge News. 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 important point is that the call was made, according to MI-5 calculations, about 25 minutes before the President was shot," the memo said.
Cambridge News reporter Josh Thomas posted a tweet from the newsroom Friday morning.
The National Archives released 2,891 records related to the case late Thursday.
