The FBI knew of at least three threats to kidnap John Kennedy Jr., the last time four years before his fatal plane crash last year, records show.

The last threat arose when a caller told the FBI field office in New York about a plot to abduct Kennedy.

The plotters “determined that Kennedy rode a bicycle in Manhattan and did not have any bodyguards,” an FBI report dated July 13, 1995, said.

The records, obtained by The Associated Press through the Freedom of Information Act, were heavily edited and revealed few details about the alleged plot.

The suspects were believed to have some connection to Colombia, and the phrase “ARMED AND DANGEROUS” was typed on several of the FBI files.

An FBI informant said, however, that “he never heard any statements from any of the suspects that suggested they would harm Kennedy.”

The 162 FBI documents released also revealed that another kidnap threat was made on May 14, 1985, when an apparently intoxicated male caller told the Herndon, Va., police department that “he and seven other individuals intended on kidnapping John Kennedy that evening at 8 p.m.”

The third threat, which was previously known, occurred when Kennedy was still in elementary school.
