Cuban scientists deny sonic attacks on US diplomats
Cuban Interior Ministry's Colonel Ramiro Ramirez, who leads a team investigating US complaints of "attacks" on diplomats in Havana, speaks during an interview at the Hotel Nacional in Havana, Cuba, Oct 22, 2017. HAVANA - Two Cuban scientists have denied the accusations that Cuba targeted American diplomats and their families in Havana with sonic attacks, saying this was a pretext to harm relations. According to the US government, 24 diplomats and relatives suffered from sonic attacks, beginning in Nov 2016 and causing problems of hearing, balance, sight and even memory loss. He suggested that one option could be the sonic weapon, known as the Long Range Acoustic Device, an acoustic device that can emit sounds over great distances, which has been used in the US to disperse protests, but an LRAD would have affected several entire buildings, and also could not be targeted so specifically.
