Still, most agencies consider it unlikely
MADRID, 11 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Two United States intelligence agencies have pointed to the possibility that the mysterious illness suffered in recent years by American diplomatic, political and security personnel, called ‘Havana syndrome’, has been caused by foreign actors, although the Most agencies still consider it unlikely.
In the new unclassified report issued this Friday, two agencies out of seven have stated that they cannot “rule out” the possibility that the symptoms were caused by a foreign actor.
One of the agencies assessed that there was a likelihood that a foreign government had used a weapon or prototype device in a small, undefined number of cases involving US personnel.
For its part, the other agency has concluded that, although it is possible that a foreign power has developed a weapon of this type, it is unlikely that it was used in the cases reported to the authorities, according to the US network CNN.
This syndrome first emerged in 2016 among diplomats in Cuba and has affected dozens of people in various locations, including Bogotá and Vienna. Although there was speculation that it was caused by a directed energy attack, the Senate report urges the CIA to continue investigating, as there are still many unanswered questions.
These people suffered a series of symptoms that medical experts attributed to ultrasounds or microwaves of unknown origin. The final report, published in 2023, concluded that it was “very unlikely” that it was the work of a foreign state, although no alternative theory was offered and this wave of “anomalous medical incidents” remains a mystery.
A joint investigation published on April 1 by ‘The Insider’, ‘Der Spiegel’ and CBS contradicted the official version and pointed to alleged covert activities promoted by Russian Intelligence. One of those responsible for the investigations carried out by the Pentagon, Greg Edgreen, has placed the “Russian nexus” as the common denominator in all the cases. Russia always distanced itself from any suspicion.
