Ny teori om diplomatgåtan på Kuba: Myggmedel
En ny teori har lagts fram om mysteriet med insjuknade diplomater i Kuba. Bekämpningsmedel mot mygg tros ligga bakom att tjänstemän från USA och Kanada stationerade i Havanna blivit sjuka, skriver TT.
Kanadensiska forskare har kommit fram till att de drabbade kan ha påverkats av ett nervgift som kubanska myndigheter använde för att bekämpa smittbärande myggor.
Tidigare teorier har handlat om allt från trånande syrsor, mikrovågsvapen och Ryssland.
bakgrund
Havanna-syndromet
Wikipedia (en)
"Havana syndrome" is the name popularized by the media in 2018 for purported acoustic attacks on United States and Canadian embassy staff, first reported in Cuba, and then in China. Beginning in August 2017, reports surfaced that American and Canadian diplomatic personnel in Cuba had suffered a variety of health problems, dating back to late 2016, and accusations were made that these were a result of attacks using unspecified technology, possibly acoustic in nature.The U.S. government accused Cuba of perpetrating unspecified attacks causing these symptoms. The U.S. reduced staff at their embassy to a minimum, and U.S. President Trump declared in October 2017 that he believed Cuba was responsible for the attacks, but offered no evidence for his claim. Subsequent studies of the affected diplomats found that they had experienced some form of brain injury, but did not determine a cause for the injury.In April 2018, U.S. diplomats in China began to report problems similar to those reported in Cuba.
