U.S. lawmakers and diplomats are increasingly frustrated with the State Department's response to 'Havana Syndrome' as the number of American diplomats affected by the mysterious health attacks continues to climb.
“This thing is obviously escalating,” said the former senior State Department official.
Shaheen said it's no wonder victims of the attack are fed up. Four years after the first cases emerged, the U.S. government still doesn't have the answers to key questions. Some lawmakers and diplomats believe Russia is behind the attacks, but Shaheen said she has not seen any conclusive intelligence assessments about who is to blame.
Three years after he was targeted, Polymeropoulos still suffers from debilitating headaches and brain fog, among other problems, and he had to retire early from the CIA because he couldn't focus. She noted that Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin issued guidance to Defense Department personnel to raise awareness and increase preparedness for possible attacks. And CIA Director William Burns has taken the attacks "very seriously," she said.
