Cuba releases details of incident involving U.S. official

Source: CTV News

HAVANA -- Cuba released details Sunday on the latest mysterious health incident involving a U.S. diplomat in the country, saying that Cuban officials learned of the episode late last month when the U.S. said that an embassy official felt ill after hearing "undefined sounds" in her home in Havana.

Cuba said in a statement released by its Foreign Ministry that U.S. officials reported on May 29 that a female embassy official had reported experiencing "health symptoms" after hearing the sounds in her home two days earlier.

Cuba said it sent investigators to the home who found no potential source of a sound and were not granted access to the official.

U.S. officials said Friday that they had pulled two workers from Cuba and were testing them for possible brain injury. There was no immediate explanation of why the Cuban statement only referred to one official.

I really believe this asshole is behind it all, knowing our government would blame the Cubans. I think we're being isolated.
