US diplomats, spies may have been hit by electromagnetic energy – report
Some of the 1,000 US diplomats and intelligence officers hit by a mysterious illness known as Havana Syndrome could have been targeted by electromagnetic energy pulses, according to a report to US intelligence leaders released on Wednesday.
“Pulse electromagnetic energy, particularly in the radio frequency range, plausibly explains” the ear pain, vertigo, and other symptoms of some of those suffering the ailments first reported by US diplomats in the Cuban capital in 2016, experts from inside and outside the US government said.
The panel of experts was convened by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines and CIA Deputy Director David Cohen. The combination of symptoms “cannot be easily explained by known environment or medical conditions” among a subset of victims.
