Intelligence agencies say there’s no sign U.S. adversaries were behind ‘Havana syndrome’
LA TimesThe U.S. Embassy in Havana in 2017. The U.S. has been unable to link Cuba or another foreign adversary to cases of so-called Havana syndrome — brain injuries and other symptoms reported by American personnel around the world. U.S. intelligence agencies cannot link a foreign adversary to any incidents associated with so-called “Havana syndrome” — the hundreds of cases of brain injuries and other symptoms reported by American personnel around the world. And some people may have come forward to report symptoms based on what they had heard about other cases or the exhaustive media reports about Havana syndrome, officials said. “I want to be absolutely clear: these findings do not call into question the experiences and real health issues that U.S. government personnel and their family members — including CIA’s own officers — have reported while serving our country,” said CIA Director William Burns in a statement.
