State Dept.: 16 U.S. Embassy Personnel in Cuba Injured by Sonic Device Attack
2017-08-27
[PJ] WASHINGTON -- The State Department confirmed today that at least 16 U.S. Embassy employees in Cuba suffered symptoms from an attack with a sonic device.

Press secretary Heather Nauert told reporters that all of the U.S. government employees "have been provided medical treatment in the United States as well as in Cuba."

"We take this situation extremely seriously," she said. "We are trying to provide them the help, the medical care, the treatment, and the support that they need and the support that they deserve."

Nauert said "the incidents are no longer occurring."
Please move along. Nothing to be seen... or not heard here any longer.

The treatment in Cuba was free of course. Crappy and substandard, but free.

#3  I seem to recall other embassies experienced the same injuries at the same time as our people -- perhaps the device is less precise than intended.
