Frustration grows from CIA officers with lack of progress on ‘Havana Syndrome’ investigation

(KYMA, KECY/ CNN) - Dozens of former CIA officers have gone to the House and Senate Intelligence committees accusing the Intel Agency of soft-pedaling its 'Havana Syndrome' investigation.

The scope of the outreach  to Capitol Hill exposes a growing frustration among victims that the intelligence community still hasn't gotten to the bottom of the mysterious illness.

It first surfaced six years ago when a cluster of U.S. government personnel stationed in the Cuban capital city began reporting symptoms consistent with head trauma. Those include dizziness and extreme headaches.

Similar symptoms have since presented in U.S. personnel stationed around the world.

The CIA's task force has been investigating whether a foreign nation might be carrying out attacks for three years.

The investigation is ongoing, but so far they've found little evidence to support the theory that Russia or another country might be behind the episodes - or that the episodes are related.
