Havana syndrome mystery persists as CIA officers report debilitating symptoms
A CIA officer’s experience in London highlights unresolved questions about the cause of symptoms known as Havana syndrome.
The Chestnut Post Staff ·
Dozens of CIA officers have experienced debilitating symptoms over the past decade, according to the Guardian, amid unresolved questions about the condition known as Havana syndrome.
One officer visiting London for work in April 2019 awoke in his hotel room shortly after 1am with exceptionally severe head pain, heavy sweating and a sensation that his eyes were spinning. He struggled to reach the bathroom after losing his balance.
At a meeting the following day, he could not recall familiar colleagues’ names and had difficulty following the conversation. He initially suspected food poisoning, but mental fog, balance problems and worsening tinnitus continued over the following weeks.
The Guardian’s report examines questions about whether the symptoms reflect mass hysteria or attacks involving an energy weapon, as well as who might be responsible and whether there has been a cover-up. The supplied account does not establish a cause.
