US sources have 8 as the number of attempts on Castro.
But let's remember, the US have under both the Bush administration and the Obama administration openly advertised that they are hunting and killing people on foreign soils without judicial procedure and without the consent of local countries. Osama Bin Laden is the most famous example, but many of those "targeted killings" are done by airstrikes, which
routinely kill many more people than the target. Infamously whole wedding parties or funerals have been wiped out this way.
The US also for example kidnapped and tortured an Islamist cleric in Italy, which is something we (the public) mostly know about because they were too brazen about it and the Italian police made a big deal of it. (Something like a dozen Americans were actually convicted to prison in absentia.)
When you consider that this is just the stuff we hear about, you don't have to imagine very hard to realize that there's probably a good bunch of nasty stuff the US is doing which we just never know about.
