Hell the CIA had enough trouble trying to kill Castro, exploding cigars etc, etc etc, that this would almost write itself. And since they were so bad at killing a normal human I doubt they would ever get suspicious that Clarke manages to avoid every trap they set for him.
You make the wrong assumptions there. The truth behind why we hear about laughable attempts for Castro and not much more isn’t that this is how the CIA rolls. It could also be that this is one of the few times they failed at all.

Alternate take. Castro was an alien…

Issue there is that they couldn’t try to kill him directly. Always had to be by proxy.
