The CIA was linked to the alleged sonic attacks in Cuba [View all]

Havana, Feb 16 (Prensa Latina) The alleged sonic attacks on diplomats from the United States in Cuba were a pretext with the participation of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to sever relations with the island, retired Division General Fabian Escalante said on Tuesday.

'You cannot find what doesn't exist, those attacks were an operation by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA),' the expert in State Security affairs noted in an exclusive interview with Prensa Latina. According to the analyst, the so-called Havana Syndrome responded to the pretention of the Government of former President Donald Trump (2017-2021) to sever ties between the two countries and suffocate Cuba.

The Trump administration wanted a pretext to break off relations with Havana and justify more than 200 measures taken against Cuba during the term, Escalante denounced.

'How to emit a radio wave that will affect some people and others not?' the expert wondered when referring to the incidents described by the diplomats. It was so confirmed by a report from the US Department of State that was declassified recently and that ratifies a lack of evidence to link Cuba with the mysterious health problems that affected the US officials.

The document suggests that Trump's order to dismantle the Embassy in Havana in early 2018, as a reaction to the 'sonic attacks', was 'a political response plagued by mismanagement, poor leadership, lack of coordination, and a failure to follow established procedures'.
