US intelligence denies the relationship of the “Havana Syndrome” with “foreign entities”

The US Central Intelligence Agency has denied that the so-called “Havana Syndrome” affecting US diplomats was the result of a “global campaign by a foreign country to harm the United States.”

And US intelligence said, in its first assessment of the mysterious health symptoms that have plagued a number of Americans in 5 years, which “has not yet found any evidence that there is a country behind the cases that have been reported in all over the world, which count up to a thousand cases. “.

A senior CIA official said that in his initial assessment delivered to US President Joe Biden and briefed to Congress in recent weeks, he did not rule out that a small group of cases may actually be an attack.

And US intelligence has confirmed that it continues to investigate “whether there is a device or mechanism that could cause the symptoms that have been reported.”

Interestingly, the intelligence rating was issued by a task force created by William Burns, director of the US Central Intelligence Agency, to investigate cases of the Havana syndrome, which led to the forced withdrawal of some US officials.

A US intelligence agency official described the Havana syndrome case as “the hardest case”, as analysts were not in able to determine who caused it and how.

Sources familiar with the assessment said one theory suggests that Russia, or perhaps a proxy force on behalf of Moscow, is using a direct-energy weapon to gather intelligence or harass Americans, and although officials from the US intelligence have not ruled out this theory, they have not been in able to prove it.

Two sources told CNN that the outcome of the assessment led to greater frustration among some of the victims, lawmakers and government employees following the case, even within the CIA itself.

“While we have had some important discoveries, we are not done with our investigation and will continue our mission,” said William Burns. in a note.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken tried to reassure State Department staff that he would continue to prioritize the matter, and Blinken said in a widespread note that these results do not bring in Discuss the fact that our colleagues report real experiences and have real symptoms, and we will continue to use all our resources to learn more about these incidents, there will be additional reports.
