According to 60 Minutes, a previously unreported“anomalous health incident” — the government term for the HavanaSyndrome — at the NATO summit in Lithuania last year attended byPresident Joe Biden left a senior Pentagon official seeking medicalcare.
By Nora Gámez Torres, Miami HeraldWorkers at the U.S. Embassy in Havana leave the building on Sept. 29, 2017, after the State Department announced that it was withdrawing all but essential diplomats from the embassy.
Havana Syndrome got its name from the city where U.S. and Canadian diplomats and intelligence officials first reported in 2016 experiencing strange noises and sensations of pressure, and later developed debilitating symptoms like vertigo, migraines and hearing and cognitive problems. The incidents were later reported around the world, which led to suspicions that a foreign adversary, possibly Russia, was attacking U.S. diplomats and spies with some type of directed energy weapon.
Another suspected attack that happened in Florida also points to a Russian link, 60 Minutes reported. Kovalev traveled back to Russia after serving a 30-month sentence in the U.S. for evading police and reckless driving, and is believed to have died fighting in Ukraine. The Defense Department is still investigating the “anomalous health incidents,” which they treat as “counterintelligence incidents,” and its doctors have developed protocols to treat Havana Syndrome victims. After gathering testimonies from the victims, the House Intelligence Committee has also launched a formal investigation into how U.S. intelligence agencies handled the Havana Syndrome Investigation.
