From NY Post: A battle is brewing inside the US intelligence community over explosive evidence that Russia may be behind the mysterious “Havana Syndrome” illness that has sickened hundreds of US officials — as Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard pushes to make the findings public after the Biden administration allegedly buried them.
Multiple sources familiar with the case told The Post that US intelligence agencies internally concluded Moscow was responsible for the attacks dating back to 2016, but all declined to disclose the determination publicly.
US officials are also believed to have obtained at least one of the devices used in the incidents, former intelligence officials say — a potential smoking gun reported by CBS News’ “60 Minutes” on Sunday.
Havana Syndrome was first reported by US diplomats in Cuba. Victims report the sudden onset of symptoms such as vertigo, hearing loss, migraines, blindness, and cognitive impairment.
CBS News reported Russia likely caused Havana Syndrome, but officials worry that blaming Moscow could complicate Ukraine war negotiations and economic ties.
A classified report produced by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence criticizes the Biden administration’s intelligence community for conducting a cover-up, according to a source who has seen the report. However, its public release has so far been delayed.
Some say the Central Intelligence Agency is the biggest resistance to Gabbard.
The CIA responded to questions, saying, “Director Ratcliffe supports DNI Gabbard’s efforts to review the AHI issue and looks forward to her report on this important matter.”
American agents bought a microwave weapon from a Russian network for $15 million to understand mysterious attacks. They theater it on animals at a US military lab, and it caused neurological injuries like Havana Syndrome.
