US Embassy in Colombia investigates several cases of the so-called Havana syndrome among employees. Reports about it The Wall Street Journal. Previously, the Columbia Foreign Ministry reported that in October US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will visit Colombia.
In September, diploma personnel improved the “unexplained health incident.” On October 1, the embassy staff received a letter with information about several other “abnormal incidents affecting health” – so the United States authorities call the set of symptoms similar to “Havansky Syndrome”.
It is just known about two cases of “Havansky Syndrome”, but with the manifestations of the ailment, presumably several more people collided. “The influence of the syndrome was at least one family, including a minor,” – noted by one of the interlocutors WSJ. This family left Colombia, going to treatment.
The State Department in emails Embassy employees promised to treat these incidents “seriously, objectively and delicately.”
The so-called Havana syndrome is a number of neurological symptoms that included dizziness, nausea, headaches and hearing problems, which were observed in November 2016 in some employees of the Embassies of Canada and the United States in Havana and their family members. The US authorities called the cause of the sighting attack on their diplomats using sound weapons. Back in October 2017, Cuban experts stated that the United States could take for “acoustic attacks” of crickets or cicades.
