Nearly 1,500 previously classified documents related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy were released on Wednesday by the US National Archives and Records Administration. 

The secret government JFK files were released online after months of delays by the Biden administration.

The White House said in October that it would again delay the release of long-classified documents due to the "significant impact" of the COVID-19 pandemic.

NARA said on its website Wednesday that the agency was "processing previously withheld John F. Kennedy assassination-related records" to comply with President Joe Biden's memo requiring the records be released by December 15, 2021.

Kennedy was fatally shot on November 22, 1963 as he rode in a presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas. 

Days later, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the assassination, but was himself shot dead on live television. The president's killing has been the focus of conspiracy theories for years.
