There's no reason to "think" when you can find out for sure by doing some research and reading...
FYI, the mob was surely involved. They may have even hired the assassins, although it's hard to know for sure as they all seemed to suddenly get themselves killed after the assassination and there is very little evidence of who did what, other than that certain people were involved and then murdered shortly after the assassination. And yes, anti-Castro Cubans were also involved as they were sore at Kennedy for hanging them out to dry during the Bay of Pigs invasion. Oswald was mixed up with that group. He was an FBI informant who had infiltrated the Cuban group undercover.
But the assassination was planned at the highest levels of government and was only able to succeed by removing the secret service protection on that day. On any other day, you would have had a massive presence of secret service agents all along the route. You would have had sharp shooters on top of and inside buildings, and security around each and every building. But instead, the Secret Service was ordered to stand down. Watch these 2 short videos of footage from before the assassination:

Most interesting is the agent who throws his hands up in the air in disgust and confusion after being ordered not to run alongside the car as he would normally do.
