More than 1,500 US government employees have reported cases of so-called Havana Syndrome since late 2016, and a new US intelligence report has concluded their illness didn’t come at the hands of a foreign entity. « We cannot tie a foreign adversary to any incident, » a US intelligence official tells the Wall Street Journal, echoing what’s stated in a report that was years in the making and produced by seven intelligence agencies. The reports five of those agencies deemed it « very unlikely » a foreign adversary was behind the symptoms; one agency said it was « unlikely, » and one declined to make a conclusion.
But per the report, US intelligence agencies were unable to find any « credible evidence » that any foreign adversary has a weapon or intelligence collection device that could be responsible for symptoms that include a ringing in the ears, nausea, and pressure in the head.
