It does indeed: "The plan called for CIA 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Intelligence_Agency> or other 
operatives to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. 
cities to create public support for a war against Castro 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidel_Castro>-led Cuba 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuba>.".  Consider that sentence was 
written by the person who made the article, so there is no need to take 
that sentence as evidence of what the plan was. The /actual plan/, 
(which is an actual document, and not just some offhand statement made 
by someone on the internet), clearly depicts using deception but no 
actual killing. :P
