I'm reading John Perkins book and I'm doing a little fact checking.

Torrijos' death generated charges and speculation that he was the victim of an assassination plot. For instance, in pre-trial hearings in Miami in May 1991, Noriega's attorney Frank Rubino was quoted as saying "General Noriega has in his possession documents showing attempts to assassinate General Noriega and Mr. Torrijos by agencies of the United States." Those documents were not allowed as evidence in trial, because the presiding judge agreed with the U.S. government's claim that their public mention would violate the Classified Information Procedures Act.

Anyone have any more information on this?

Nothing specific, but it was well accepted at the time that the CIA, in cooperation with other intelligence agencies, would participate in assasinations.
Noriega himself was supposedly CIA connected, another boomerang in the "strange bedfellows" file.
