New 'sonic' attack reported in Cuba, 19 Americans now affected

Nineteen Americans are suffering from a range of symptoms, including mild traumatic brain injury and hearing loss, related to mysterious "sonic harassment" attacks in Cuba -- with a new incident reported just last month.
Previously, U.S. officials said the incidents started in December 2016 and ended this past spring. But State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert revealed Friday that a new incident occurred in August and is now part of the ongoing investigation.
"We can’t rule out new cases as medical professionals continue to evaluate members of the embassy community," warned Nauert, who has described the situation as "unprecedented."
The U.S. government, including the FBI, continue to investigate who and what are behind the incidents, but with no firm answers so far.
The American Foreign Service Association said Friday that its representatives met this week in Washington, D.C., with Foreign Service Officers posted at the U.S. embassy in Havana who have faced diagnoses including mild traumatic brain injury and permanent hearing loss, but also loss of balance, severe headaches, cognitive disruption and brain swelling.
Traumatic brain injury is caused by a violent blow or jolt to the head or body that may cause temporary dysfunction of brain cells or more lasting damage, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms can be immediate or appear days or weeks later, ranging from loss of consciousness or confusion to sensory problems, memory loss, or headache and nausea.

Commie retaliation for Trump’s Venezuela sanctions on Cuba’s oil supplier.
Sounds like the Cubans have attacked the US Embassy now that it is no longer under control of the CPUSA.
BIG MISTAKE!!!
Shut down that worthless embassy. Or maybe appoint BHO as ambassador to Cuba so that his brain gets scrambled by the sonic assault.
How would we know?
Careful...might get an improvement
Two can play this game, and we could pull it off in the Executive residence.
So Cuba, you want to play?
Hey Cuba, scrambled or over easy?
We should use a 500lb sonic attack on Castros brother and their military.
Too late. bho brain was pre-scrambled.
Too late. bho brain was pre-scrambled.
So no one has thought to visit the areas in question with a pocket ultrasonic recording device to determine the exact nature of the sound?
This is the strangest thing I’ve seen in politics. Just odd.
Close the embassy - it’s the on;y way to be sure
Blatant violation of the Vienna Convention. This is an issue worth going to war over.
