CUBA
Pointing Fingers
As the United Nations once again called for an end to the US embargo on his country, Cuba’s foreign minister accused Washington of “deliberately lying” in characterizing the mysterious health problems experienced by US staff as the result of some kind of attack.
At a press conference on Thursday, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla blamed the US for politicizing the incident, ABC News reported. “I can categorically affirm that those that say there have been attacks … are deliberately lying,” the news channel quoted Parrilla as saying.
Parrilla didn’t deny that the 24 Americans in question had experienced mysterious health problems. But he said Cuba had not found any evidence that they resulted from an attack and would continue to investigate to “find the truth.”
Initial US speculation was that the symptoms – which included permanent hearing loss, loss of balance and dizziness, and cognitive issues – were caused by a sonic device. But despite four visits to Cuba by FBI investigators, they have yet to discover a device or any other technology that could be responsible.
