All our reports on Havana Syndrome | 60 Minutes Full Episodes
In a Nutshell
US diplomats, spies, CIA officers, and families have suffered Havana Syndrome brain injuries since 2014—causing vertigo, ear pain, cognitive damage, and vestibular issues—likely from pulsed microwave or directed energy weapons wielded by Russian Unit 29155, with evidence including a 2024 US purchase of a concealable Russian device tested on animals matching victim symptoms. Victims like Chris, Heidi, Mark Polymeeropoulos, and FBI agent Carrie report consistent attacks even in US homes and White House grounds, linked to Russian spies like Vitali Kovalev. Government panels (led by Dr. David Relman) deem pulsed RF energy most plausible, but CIA/ODNI downplay foreign involvement as "unlikely," fueling cover-up accusations amid operational disruptions and calls for Purple Hearts.
These notes were generated by AI and may contain inaccuracies.
Details of a classified US intelligence mission obtained a previously unknown weapon that may unlock the mystery of brain injuries suffered by US diplomats, spies, and military officers since at least 2016. Victims suffered crippling brain injuries from an overwhelming force damaging vision, hearing, sense of balance, and cognition. Government doubted stories, calling victims delusional. 60 Minutes learned a weapon inflicting these injuries was obtained overseas and secretly tested on animals on a US military base. Investigated for 9 years; this is the fourth story, "Targeting Americans".
Chris and Heidi (last name withheld), met at Air Force Academy. Chris retired as lieutenant colonel working on classified spy satellites. Near Washington DC, struck by unseen force five times in five months, all in home in Northern Virginia. Heidi present for last two attacks.
- First incident August 2020: Felt punched in throat, left ear clogged, sharp shooting pains down left arm.
- Second: Standing in kitchen looking at back woods, immediate vice on head, disoriented, confused, dizzy.
- Third, end of September: Sitting in living room, all spine muscles cramped like Charlie horse, spine on fire, very hot and sharp.
- Fifth, early December: Woke with full body convulsion, worst pain ever, vice gripping brain stem.
Heidi: Early January, immense joint pain everywhere, shoulder pain in left shoulder, no trauma. Bones in shoulder dissolving (osteolysis), required surgery. Lasting effects: On two neurological drugs daily; without them, severe symptoms; sustained damage to multiple organ systems.
You believe you were attacked? Yes. By a foreign adversary? Yes. In the line of duty? Yes.
Shared belief among officials and families met over years. Consistent stories:
- FBI agent: "And bam, inside my right ear, it was like a dentist drilling on steroids."
- Commerce Department official in China: Felt sound in head, intense pressure on both temples.
- Early Cuba victim (Havana syndrome): Severe ear pain like Q-tip bounced off eardrum, or sharp pencil poking.
- Wife of Justice Department official in Europe: Pierced ears from left side, through window, fullness in head, piercing headache. Multiple surgeries for inner ear and skull bones.
Many victims have lifelong disabilities. Stories consistent despite victims never meeting. Government acknowledges injuries, pays for health care, but doubted cause: atmospheric/environmental, virus, pre-existing condition, or mass hysteria (FBI early investigation). 2023 official word: Very unlikely attacks by foreign adversary.
Do you believe the victims? Absolutely.
Dr. David Reichman, Stanford professor of medicine, led two government investigations (2020, 2022) with doctors, physicists, engineers.
The two panels concluded the most plausible explanation for a subset of cases was a form of radio frequency or microwave energy.
Microwaves: Range in electromagnetic spectrum; used in ovens, radar, TV transmitters, phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. One country researched unique microwave pattern damaging brain: Former Soviet Union/Russia, decades ago. Effects: loss of consciousness, seizures, memory lapses, inability to concentrate, headaches, intense pressure, pain, disorientation, balance issues—matching victim reports.
2014 NSA reference (via lawsuit): High-powered microwave system weapon associated with hostile country. CIA dismissed: Needs enormous power, truck-sized. Reichman's panels shelved by officials.
What unnerves me is confidence dismissing this work without new evidence.
Do you believe your studies downplayed? By parts of US government, absolutely—downplayed, dismissed, buried.
Former CIA officer (name withheld), first public interview. Volunteered 2021 for CIA's AHI (Anomalous Health Incidents) unit due to suffering among colleagues/families overseas: Lives destroyed, careers ruined, kids with lifelong developmental issues, cognitive problems years later.
Joined AHI at CIA HQ expecting state actor investigation, but:
First thing: Our job is to bring down the temperature on AHI at headquarters.
Meant pushing atmospheric/environmental cause over state actor to reduce fear/paranoia. Affected operations: Families left early, officers shortened tours, chose safer locations—governmentwide.
Attitude toward victims:
Senior member: "We're going to have a happy hour... simulated AHIs and drink." Emulated stroke, mocking victims—deplorable.
No sense of getting to bottom; prove psychosomatic, atmospheric, environmental.
Resigned: Moral issue; "our people highest priority" not true. Knew affected people.
CIA AHI investigation ended 2022.
US agents (Department of Homeland Security) heard Russian criminal network selling microwave weapon. Undercover bought it 2024; $15 million, Pentagon-funded. Portable, concealable, low power. Hundreds possible attacks, including CIA HQ Virginia, White House grounds (at least two).
Former CIA executive (3-star general equivalent), top decoration 2017. Hit in Moscow hotel room:
Woke middle of night, incredible vertigo, room spinning, blinding headache, tinnitus, nausea. Terrifying loss of control. Shot at in Iraq/Afghanistan, but this different.
Treated for vertigo, migraines, vision loss, memory/concentration issues. Disabled, retired. 2023 agency conclusion: Very unlikely attacked—betrayal.
Massive CIA cover-up... organization I loved.
Three independent sources: Undercover HS agents bought miniaturized microwave weapon from Russian criminal network 2024. Classified; concealable, person-carried, silent, no oven heat. Programmable, remote control, several hundred ft range, penetrates windows/drywall. Vital components Russian-made. Key: Software shapes unique electromagnetic wave—rises/falls abruptly, pulses rapidly (pulsed microwave radiation).
Reichman: Russians perfected pulsed energy for biological effects, stimulates brain/heart tissue.
Ideal stealth weapon... feels like in my head.
Tested >1 year US military lab on rats/sheep: Injuries match human. Security videos (classified): Restaurant Istanbul—FBI agents vacation, man with backpack, all grab heads. Stairwell US embassy Vienna—two collapse.
Biden admin summoned ~6 victims to White House, ~2 months left in term. Dr. Reichman (White House adviser) helped organize; admin believed victims, not medical/environmental (contra CIA).
High-level CIA source: "This is the biggest cover-up I've seen in my adult life."
Do you believe cover-up? Yes... arrives at same result.
Motive: Make it go away for normal operations; dug-in opinions on non-thermal microwave implausibility. Consistency over objectivity.
Polymeeropoulos at meeting: Admin indicated new intelligence changed things.
Dr. Paul Friederich (retired Maj Gen, ex-Pentagon top doctor):
"I'm sorry... never seen victims treated so terribly... apologies."
Chills... indication some in Biden White House believed us. Embarrassing how treated, dismissed as malingerers.
Biden White House drafted public statement backing victims, unreleased. Trump admin unchanged 2023 assessment but briefed Congress intel officials, showed classified weapon picture. Pentagon investigators moved to new weapons unit.
CIA officer who quit: CIA careless vs ruthless adversary (Russia).
If Russia, resounding success: Fear/paranoia astronomical impact.
Why bury? Political: Acknowledging state actor = declaration of war; no appetite to respond.
2024 story with The Insider: Evidence Russian involvement (Russian intel agent near Justice Dept wife wounded overseas).
DoD no comment. ODNI: New AHI review comprehensive, committed to truth.
Time we come to grips: Game changed. Adversaries reach us in US homes.
Government owes: Purple Heart for military hurt, acknowledging sacrifice affecting families.
Sources: Mission points to many devices; if buyable from gangsters, Russians lost control—usable by anyone anywhere.
Important developments in 5-year investigation of brain injuries to White House staff, CIA, FBI, military, families. Believe secret weapon: High-energy microwaves/ultrasound. Fourth story; first evidence of responsibility. Frustrated by government doubt.
Carrie (FBI counterintelligence, disguised, last name withheld). 2021 home in Florida, by window in laundry room:
Bam, inside right ear like dentist drilling on steroids x10, high-pitched metallic noise, knocked forward 45 degrees. Pressure/pain from ear to jaw, neck, chest.
Phone battery swelled, broke case. Passed out from chest pain; cardiologist check, returned duty. Months: Felt early Alzheimer's—memory/multitasking changed.
Matches prior: Piercing on head, vertigo (right side). Olivia Troy, Homeland Security Advisor to VP Mike Pence: Hit outside White House, severe ear pain like Q-tip or pencil poke on eardrum.
2016 Cuba embassy cases: Havana syndrome. Medically retired, blind one eye, balance issues.
Dr. David Reichman led government study:
Found clear evidence of injury to the auditory
Study found clear evidence of injury to the auditory and vestibular system of the brain, starting with the inner ear where humans perceive sound and sense balance, translating those perceptions into brain electrical signals. Directed pulsed radio frequency energy appears to be the most plausible mechanism, such as a focused beam of microwaves or acoustic ultrasound. More than 100 officials or family members have unexplained persistent symptoms. One victim describes: "If I turn too fast, my gyroscope is off. Essentially, it's like a step behind where I'm supposed to be. So, I'll turn too fast and I will literally walk right into the wall or the door frame."
FBI agent Carrie, speaking with FBI permission but not discussing her cases, was hit. One case involved a Mustang going 110 mph near Key West, Florida in 2020. Deputies tried to stop it; it ran 15 miles until hitting spike strips. Search found notes on bank accounts like "City Bank discover savings 75,000" and a device like a walkie-talkie that erases car computer data including GPS. There was also a Russian passport. Driver Vitali Kovalev from St. Petersburg, Russia said: "What's your first name? Vitali. V I T A L I I" and "Why did you run? Let me be honest with you. I don't know."
Christo Grov, journalist who unmasked Russian agents poisoning Alexei Navalny, traced Kovalev for The Insider. Kovalev studied at a military institute in radio electronics focused on military microelectronics, having technology know-how for high-tech operations. After two years, he became a chef, immigrating to US, working in New York and Washington DC, appearing on TV: "Traditional Russian recipes, thanks to our wonderful chef." Actually a Russian military electrical engineer with top secret clearance. Grov: "Can someone like Kovalev simply decide to drop all of that and become a chef? It is not an easy job to just leave that behind. Once you're in the military and you've been trained and the Ministry of Defense has invested in you, you remain at their beck and call for the rest of your life."
Kovalev interviewed 80 hours by agent Carrie, who investigated Russian spies. Pleaded guilty to evading police and reckless driving, sentenced to 30 months. While in jail, Carrie hit in Florida; a year later in California: "It felt like I was stuck in this state of like disorientation, not able to function, what is happening? And my whole body was pulsing."
Mark Zaid, Carries's attorney with security clearance representing national security Americans, has over two dozen clients with anomalous health incidents (AHI). "I have CIA and State Department clients as well who believe they've been impacted domestically. There are dozens of CIA cases that have happened domestically. We're talking about evidence of computer issues in the midst of the incident where computer screens just literally stop working or go flicker on and off."
Other FBI agents, analysts impacted, including one Zaid represents in Miami and others overseas last decade. Common thread: relating to Russia. Kovalev returned to Russia in 2022 ignoring warnings, death certificate says killed at Ukraine front. Grov on punishment theory: "One theory is that he was sent there in order for him to be disposed of." Questions if really dead or cover story.
Greg Ed Green, retired Army Lt. Col. who led Defense Intelligence Agency investigation 2021-2023: "Are we being attacked? My personal opinion, yes. By whom? Russia." Collected signals intelligence, human intelligence, open-source, internet, travel, financial records. Early focus on Moscow. Patterns: top 5-10% performing officers with Russia nexus—worked against Russia successfully. Impact: intelligence officers and diplomats removed from posts with traumatic brain injuries, neutralized.
First report: incident at 2023 NATO summit in Lithuania (focused on Russia-Ukraine, attended by Biden) where senior DoD official struck, sought medical treatment. Green: "It tells me that there are no barriers on what Moscow will do... if we don't face this head-on, the problem is going to get worse."
Incidents started 2014 Frankfurt, Germany (four Americans), not 2016 Havana. Revenge attacks: 2014 three CIA officers in Ukraine hit later in Uzbekistan, Vietnam, London family.
Christo Grov discovered top secret Russian intelligence unit 29155: versatile assassins, sabotage operators trained in counter surveillance, explosives, poison, technology to inflict pain/damage. Found accounting document: officer received bonus for work on "potential capabilities of non-lethal acoustic weapons." "Which told us that this particular unit had been engaged with somewhere somehow empirical tests of a directed energy unit... It's the closest to a receipt you can have for this."
29155 present in Tbilisi, Georgia when Americans hit. Wife of Justice Dept official (nurse, PhD anesthesiology) hit Oct 7, 2021 in laundry room: "Completely consumed by a piercing sound... pierced my ears, came in my left side... fullness in my head... piercing headache... projectile vomited." Second incident that week: US official, spouse, child hit nearby. Intercepted call in Russian: "Is it supposed to have blinking green lights? And should I leave it on all night?"
Investigation on Russian Albert Avramenko (son of 29155 commander, groomed since 16, number in unit phone books). Phone off during incidents but login to his email. "Members of unit 29155 were there to facilitate, supervise, or maybe even personally implement attacks... using an acoustic weapon."
She saw man by unrecognized vehicle outside gate matching Avramenko photo: "It absolutely does... had a visceral reaction. It made me feel sick... looks like the man that I saw."
Victim: headaches, brain fog, trouble walking stairs at night, coordination/vestibular failing. Medevaced; doctors found holes in inner ear canals; two surgeries with metal plates in skull, another likely. "It's devastating. It's absolutely devastating."
ODNI 2023: very unlikely foreign adversary responsible (some agencies low/moderate confidence). NIH brain scans: no physical damage; symptoms from pre-existing conditions, illnesses, environmental factors. Debate ongoing.
Zaid on IC assessment: "I've had access to classified information relating to AHI... I don't believe it to be the entire story... undermines or contradicts what they are saying publicly... evidence of a cover up... lines of inquiry that would take us potentially to answers we don't want." Green: bar for proof impossibly high to avoid hard truths—secure America? Counterintelligence failures? Protect soil? Act of war?
Senior officials hit domestically including White House grounds. Olivia Troye, homeland security/counterterrorism adviser to VP Mike Pence (Pentagon, Iraq, DIA, NCTC), summer 2019 descending Eisenhower Executive Office Building stairs to White House: "Piercing feeling on the side of my head... right side... vertigo... unsteady... nauseous... disoriented... paralyzing panic attack." Continued past West Wing entrance, West Executive Avenue, Secret Service gate to Ellipse parking.
Year later (2020), similar on Ellipse to car: vertigo, dizziness, depth perception issue, couldn't walk. Didn't report initially due to shame, clearance/career fears. "There is a human aspect of it of shame... how many more people are like me."
Senior NSC member hit Nov 2020 same steps; disorientation, ringing ears, inability to function; ER, ongoing at Walter Reed with headaches, two conditions from attack. John Bolton: "Very debilitating attack and similar to what others have reported."
Miles Taylor, DHS deputy/chief of staff: Apr 2018 late night Capitol Hill apartment, chirping sound (cricket/digital) woke him; white van brake lights, sped away 3-3:30am. Lasted 7-10 min; next day off-balance, sick. Five weeks later again before Israel trip (Netanyahu, cybersecurity). Nauseous on plane from Andrews AFB.
Taylor aware of cabinet-level official with similar residence episodes: "Five alarm fire... ongoing activity targeting US government officials here in our country."
Other incidents: Vienna ahead of VP Vietnam trip; India during 2019 CIA director visit; London during Trump visit—two Bolton NSC staff ill in hotel.
Two members of John Bolton's national security staff became ill in a hotel on the floor completely taken up with White House and White House agency personnel, which struck Bolton as good evidence of a deliberate attack. Bolton believes it was an attack, stating there is no other hypothesis given the number and pattern of incidents. Months later, one staff member hurt in London was overcome again walking her dog in the Washington area. She is not the only one attacked abroad and later at home.
Robin Garfield, a Commerce Department official, told 60 Minutes in 2019 that he, his wife, and two children were repeatedly hit in China. His daughter fell down multiple times in one day. They were evacuated and enrolled in a State Department treatment program at the University of Pennsylvania. Recently, Garfield said his family was hit again during treatment in Philadelphia. His wife catapulted out of bed and sprinted down the hallway to check the children after an extremely loud, painful sound woke her. They moved to a hotel where it happened again around 2:00 a.m. with strange vibrations in their bodies and a sound. Garfield checked his children and saw them thrashing in their beds asleep but kicking aggressively. He heard a distinct sound like water rushing next to his daughter's head, picked her up, then heard the same by his son's head, and said, "We're getting out of here."
Garfield reported this to the FBI. His family is now posted abroad, working to improve balance, eyesight, and memory. Garfield noted the most difficult aspect is the children impacted, including his own and eight others he knows personally, with balance issues, trouble finding words, stuttering, and vision challenges manifesting in the classroom.
Persistent neurological symptoms are not the only fight; early reports were dismissed as psychosomatic, illnesses from infection or pesticide exposure, effects of old sports injuries, or sound from a particular cicada species. It was rough in the beginning, a dark place, with victims shoved aside.
One of the first cases from 2016 involved Americans at the US embassy in Cuba struck at home frequently at night. He remembers dogs barking unusually in chorus, then a loud sound filling his room, feeling his head slowly crushed, severe ear pain like poking a sharp pencil on the eardrum, jarring and painful, eventually blacking out. More than two dozen embassy officials reported injury, but an early FBI report speculated mass hysteria. Brain injuries left him disabled, retired at 36. He uses a weighted vest for balance and a service dog for walking and vision loss; legally blind in one eye. Doctors said it's not the eye but the wiring: eye function is correct, but the signal to the brain has problems no one knows how to fix.
"This is probably one of my worst nightmares. I didn't do my job because I want to be known. I did my job because I love my country and I was good at it. God, and I miss my job. I'm here because I'm tired of the gaslighting that keeps happening from the US government. I'm tired of this yo-yoing because I'm watching new colleagues and friends that I've trained with and friends that I've known for years that are being sent to these countries and coming back a shell of their former selves. We need to help them and we need to stop this."
Brain injuries suffered by US officials in Washington and abroad are the focus of an intense investigation. A CIA task force, including the FBI and led by a CIA officer who helped find Osama bin Laden, zeroed in on about two dozen of around 1,000 possible cases that cannot be explained. CIA Director William Burns stated injured Americans can no longer be doubted.
"In my first week as director, I began what have become dozens and dozens of meetings with affected officers and family members, and I found their stories to be powerful and compelling and sometimes heartbreaking."
Burns heard stories from CIA officers injured since 2016. In fall, a staff member was stricken in a hotel in India during Burns' visit; Burns escorted them to medical evaluations. Burns tripled full-time medical personnel, streamlined access to Walter Reed, established new partnerships, increased case managers, and made progress on investigations.
Progress included a report on brain injury nature. Dr. David Relman, professor of medicine at Stanford, led two government panels and found clear evidence of injury to the auditory and vestibular system, from inner ear perceiving sound and balance to brain electrical signals. They focused on cases with abrupt intense pressure or vibration in face or head, sometimes with abrupt sound onset.
A former official recorded this sound at home in Havana (sound does not cause injury, byproduct like gun sound):
The sound or pressure came from one direction, focused in one location, continuous and changing based on location—it dissipated when they left, recurred when returned—unexplainable by known medical or environmental conditions.
Panels concluded most likely pulsed electromagnetic energy, a focused beam of microwaves from a distance.
James Benford, physicist and microwave authority, said best explanation is high-power microwave weapon. Portable transmitters range from suitcase to tractor-trailer size; bigger means longer range. Can transmit through van walls, home walls, glass, brick—studied over 50 years in US, Russia, China.
Implications suggest loss of norms: humans affected seriously, must understand better.
CIA interim report last month: no evidence of massive global campaign; unlikely a foreign actor like Russia conducted sustained worldwide campaign. Intelligence community assesses no single cause for over 1,000 incidents since 2016, not yet linked foreign state actor or external device to any cases.
"It's a very complicated issue... a whole range of incidents which have different kinds of explanations... very charged emotionally... makes me even more determined to ensure people get care and get to the bottom of this."
John Bolton fears threat to highest government levels, citing two national security officials overcome on West Executive Avenue by West Wing inside White House gates. If adversary could disable president and top advisers, US vulnerable.
Miles Taylor, former Homeland Security Chief of Staff, believes targeted in two incidents at Washington home: someone sending message they can strike without retaliation, line crossed into near-warfare.
Burns: national security not in danger of incapacitation; White House grounds safe; take each incident seriously with governmentwide resources. Profound line crossed if hostile actor in DC, but no evidence yet.
"We're not done yet. We still have a lot of work to do... my promise is that I am absolutely committed to exhausting every alternative so that we can provide the kind of answers that we owe them."
President Biden raised issue with Putin in Geneva summer; Russians deny involvement. Secret Service declined comment on White House security. Iron gates of West Executive Avenue installed 1951 after Truman assassination attempt; 70 years later, evidence gates may be breached by invisible threat.
In 2016-17, 25 Americans including CIA at US embassy in Cuba suffered brain injuries: impaired vision, memory loss, persistent symptoms. At least 15 American officials in China suffered unexplained brain trauma soon after. FBI investigating possible mysterious weapon leaving no trace. Evidence of hostile foreign government's plan targeting Americans abroad and families.
Mark Lindsay, State Department security officer at US consulate in Guangzhou, felt lightheaded, headaches from November 2017; wife too. Heard strange sounds in apartment like marble in 6-foot metal funnel speeding down: loud, over son's crib, 3-4 times before bed. Persistent symptoms: light sensitivity (wears glasses), worsening headaches, short-term memory loss. Believes targeted for work analyzing electronic threats to missions.
"No shadow of a doubt... directed attack against my neighbor and I."
Neighbor Katherine Werner, US Commerce trade officer one floor up, promoting American business: woke middle of night to sound in head, intense temple pressure, low oscillating humming—painful, looked for source. From October 2017: hives, daily headaches, extreme tiredness, vomiting, nosebleeds; dogs threw up blood. Assumed China's smog; symptoms matched Havana. Hadn't heard Cuba details. Mother stayed 3 months, got same symptoms: headaches, ear ringing, word recall difficulty. Medically evacuated to US.
Lindsay: directed standoff attack, RF radio frequency energy in microwave range. NSA 2014 statement on high-powered microwave system: weaken, intimidate, kill over time without evidence, bathes living quarters in microwaves (from workers' comp case of ex-NSA Mike Beck).
Mike Beck and colleague Chuck Bett on 1996 assignment in hostile country (not Cuba/China, classified) developed Parkinson's years later. Beck knew hostile country's intelligence modus operandi; shared recent intelligence in classified briefing with House/Senate Intelligence Committees—relevant to Cuba/China cases.
No official confirmation linking to 40 injured in China/Cuba. Recent patients treated for concussion-like symptoms.
Dr. Tina Shetty, Lindsay's neurologist: reported headache, memory loss, sleep issues, emotionality, irritability—no trauma history but characteristic of mild traumatic brain injury. University of Pennsylvania Center for Brain Injury and Repair study: functional injury to widespread brain networks. Garfields among 40 patients; symptoms match full suite from Cuba.
Robin Garfield in Shanghai with wife Britta and children: sound for months. Britta felt hit from left like electric shock, paralyzed, unable to move/speak—felt in danger. Children: blurred vision, loss of balance; daughter fell multiple times on walk, abnormal.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last spring confirmed Werner case: brain injuries matched Cuba victims, incident in Guangzhou similar/consistent.
State Department doubts other 14 China cases; told Lindsay symptoms/findings do not correlate with Havana cohort. Told Garfield illness from 17-year-old baseball injury, doesn't explain family.
"They tried to deny it. They tried to cover it up. They tried to minimize it... Because it's China. Because we have such a large trade relationship... You can push around Cuba... With China, that's a different beast."
"It is a very complicated geopolitical relationship between the US and China. So that to me feels like why this determination is being made."
State refusal to call attack impacts benefits: no paid leave, medical bills uncovered after one year if pre-existing.
The China patients have the attention of at least one member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Gene Shaheen wrote Secretary Pompeo, "The group from China is increasingly feeling isolated and left behind by the State Department." The State Department declined an interview, but in a statement to 60 Minutes, it said, "We will continue to provide our colleagues the care they need regardless of their diagnosis or the location of their medical evacuation."
A State Department official stated that the Cuba patients are victims of an attack, but the department has not made the same determination for the China patients. The department has asked the National Academies of Sciences to assist in the medical investigation.
The FBI is also investigating. Intelligence sources indicated that in addition to Cuba and China, Russia is a suspect. If microwaves were used, the technology is not rare, and it could be that more than one country is using it. US intelligence is still debating what caused the injuries.
You were in harm's way and you didn't know it. Exactly. I didn't know it. And I'm afraid that others may be in harm's way and may not know it.
I don't know what the future looks like for me, but I would do anything in my power to prevent this from happening to somebody else serving their country.
Americans are not the only ones who've been attacked. According to the Canadian government, 15 Canadians were injured in Cuba, including diplomats and their families.
