Now they claim it's Russians again...
No worries, they're putting best "very highly qualified"
people on it...

 The U.S. government's investigation into Havana Syndrome "is turning
up new evidence that the symptoms are the result of directed-energy
attacks," reports Politico, citing five U.S. lawmakers and officials
who've been briefed on the matter: Behind closed doors, lawmakers are
also growing increasingly confident that Russia or another hostile
foreign government is behind the suspected attacks, based on regular
briefings from administration officials — although there is still no
smoking gun linking the incidents to Moscow....

The phenomenon is getting more high-level attention as government
officials have continued to report incidents in countries across
Europe, Asia, Africa and South America throughout the year. Most
prominently, Vice President Kamala Harris' August trip from Singapore
to Vietnam was delayed more than three hours when multiple U.S.
personnel reported symptoms consistent with Havana Syndrome in
Hanoi...

A Biden administration official emphasized that the investigation is
ongoing and has not yet reached specific conclusions... While CIA
Director William Burns and lawmakers briefed on the matter have
publicly referred to the incidents as attacks, some officials remain
skeptical of the prevailing theory, and some prominent neurologists
have described that explanation as implausible. But members of the
Senate Intelligence Committee, who are receiving weekly updates from
the intelligence community on the status of the investigation, said
the latest information they've received has disproved the skeptics —
and in public statements, those lawmakers are increasingly referring
to the incidents as directed-energy attacks.
Politico quotes one Republican Senator as saying "There have been new
additional attacks, which is very disturbing. It's being taken very
seriously now due to the director of the CIA ... [who] has put very
highly qualified people on it..."

The Senator also dismissed the theory that the illness was merely
psychosomatic. "I don't know how you could argue that when brain
imaging is showing a traumatic brain injury, somehow this is
psychosomatic."
