NEW: An official scientific report given to State Dept. says microwave “attack” likely led to severe injuries of US diplomats & spies in China, Cuba and other countries. Some say Russia is likely culprit — and ask why Trump hasn't acted. w/ @AnaSwanson.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/05/business/economy/havana-syndrome-microwave-attack.html …
2. This is an important update to @nytimes investigation that noted the report's existence & demands by lawmakers that the State Dept. release it. The story also said CIA officers had reported illnesses on overseas trips — including @Mpolymer in Moscow:https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/19/us/politics/diplomat-attacks-havana-syndrome.html …
3. Important: The committee of 19 experts said the "most plausible mechanism" causing the injuries was "directed, pulsed radiofrequency energy" — not "continuous" energy. That implies it was deliberate and targeted. The experts fear this could occur again unless US takes steps.pic.twitter.com/cK4vN52arD
4. Some US officials say the Trump administration acted differently on the various episodes because of politics. They say Trump wanted to reverse Obama's opening w/ Cuba, so took harsh measures against Havana. But he wanted trade talks with China and is friendly toward Russia.
5. Affected US government employees are still fighting the Trump administration for proper benefits. Office of Special Counsel has opened 2 investigations into State Department's conduct. @SenatorShaheen is pushing legislation to ensure benefits and says "much more must be done."pic.twitter.com/luw3P7fREM
6. GQ article by @juliaioffe went into detail on CIA officer @Mpolymer and discussed events in US. CIA used cell phone data to place Russian FSB officers at sites of overseas attacks. NBC story in 2018 by @JoshNBCNews & others also had info on Russia.https://www.gq.com/story/cia-investigation-and-russian-microwave-attacks …
We know why.
So we put relations with Cuba in deep freeze again because of the Russians?
Actually, There is another theory: the Zika epidemic and strong mosquito repellants. I remember there were several unexplained deaths of US tourists in the Caribbean at the time.
