Between the United States of America and Cuba, a black cat. The State Department suspected the special services of the Liberty Island in a deliberate "acoustic attack" on their diplomats and expelled two Cuban embassy workers working in the United States.
The incident became known on Wednesday, August 9. Speaking at a traditional briefing for the media, State Department spokesman Heather Neuert said that the expulsion of Cuban diplomats is the answer to a "series of unexplained events" related to the health of American attaches in Havana, "CNN reported..
According to Neuart, employees of the US Embassy in Cuba repeatedly, from the end of 2016, complained of malaise and worsening hearing. And it happened at different times and in different places.
"Absolutely to declare it is not yet possible, what could cause these incidents," she said.. According to Neuart, the victims were diagnosed with "a whole bunch of strange symptoms".
As the representative of the State Department underlined, as a result of "inexplicable collisions", people had serious health problems. At the same time, the representative of the American Foreign Ministry did not specify how many people of diplomatic workers suffered and in what state they are currently.
The State Department has repeatedly raised this issue before the government of Cuba and even sent medics to Havana. However, doctors only spread their hands. It is also indicated that the situation was of interest to the FBI.
Sources in the State Department believe that it may be about an incomprehensible "acoustic attack," which led to a long-term hearing loss among the victims. In this case, it was a series of unrelated incidents, - specifies the channel.
The Cuban Foreign Ministry reacted to the accusations of the American side, saying that "the safety and well-being of foreign diplomats" is a priority for the country. Havana promised the American authorities to help in the investigation of the situation. The authorities of the island do not comment on the expulsion of their diplomats from the US.
