Informant in JFK Case Helped Out Before
A convicted drug trafficker who infiltrated a group of men accused of devising a plot to bomb Kennedy Airport had previously offered help to investigators in exchange for a lighter punishment, according to documents posted Thursday on a Web site. Authorities had already said in court papers that the informant was assisting them in the hopes of earning a reduced sentence for a 2003 conviction for trafficking. The Smoking Gun obtained the informant's court papers in the drug case and posted the documents, revealing previously unknown details of his criminal past.Authorities confirmed his identity and the veracity of the papers posted on the site, but they asked that his name not be made public out of concern for the safety of the informant and his family.
