CIA Vienna station chief OUSTED over her 'inadequate' response to Havana syndrome cases
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The CIA removed its bureau chief in Vienna after criticism of her management, such as her handling of Havana Syndrome reports at the U.S. embassy in Vienna

  • U.S. officials are sending a message that leaders must take Havana Syndrome seriously

  • The mysterious illness is a set of ailments including migraines, nausea, memory lapses and dizziness

  • It was first reported by officials based in the U.S. embassy in Cuba in 2016

  • In May, officials said at least 130 cases across the government are were under investigation, up from several dozen last year

  • Vienna has for centuries been a center for espionage and diplomacy and was a hub for clandestine spy-versus-spy activity during the Cold War.

  • CIA Director said there is a strong possibility the syndrome is intentionally caused and that Russia could be responsible, although it does any involvement

#1 It's obviously a defensive anti surveillance device. But if that became known, the blame would fall on the people who made it. So it's a mystery. Also: TEH ROOSHINS DID IT!!
