CNN: US Has Acquired A Secret Device That Could Cause 'Havana Syndrome'

The undercover operation was conducted by the Pentagon.

The U.S. Department of Defense has acquired a device that may cause "Havana syndrome" in a covert operation. Some investigators believe the device could be the cause of a number of mysterious illnesses affecting US spies, diplomats and military personnel.

The Pentagon has been testing a device acquired during a covert operation for more than a year, according to four sources familiar with the situation. This is reported by CNN.

The Pentagon's covert operation

The Department of Homeland Security's Homeland Security Investigations unit acquired the device for millions of dollars in the final days of the Joe Biden administration. The White House used funds provided by the Defense Department for the operation. Officials paid "an eight-figure sum" for the device, sources said, declining to give a more precise figure.

The device is still being studied, and debate continues over its link to some dozens of anomalous cases of illnesses that officially remain unexplained. Notably, the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security and the CIA did not respond to a request for comment.

The device was found to have a Russian trace

One source said the device that causes "Havana syndrome" generates pulsed radio waves. Some officials and scientists have speculated for years that this could be the cause of incidents among U.S. spies. The source also added that the device is not entirely of Russian origin, it contains Russian components.

This device can fit in a backpack. So authorities have long struggled to understand how a device powerful enough to cause the damage some victims have reported could be portable. That remains a key question, according to a source familiar with the device.

The acquisition of the device has reignited a painful and heated debate within the U.S. government over "Havana syndrome," officially known as "abnormal health episodes."

What preceded

The mysterious illness first emerged in late 2016 when a group of U.S. diplomats working in the Cuban capital Havana began reporting symptoms consistent with head trauma, including dizziness and severe headaches. In the years that followed, cases were reported around the world.

The intelligence community and the Defense Department have been trying to understand whether the officials were victims of some kind of targeted energy attack by a foreign government. Senior intelligence officials, however, have publicly stated that there is insufficient evidence to support this conclusion, and victims have claimed that the U.S. government misled them and ignored important evidence that Russia attacked U.S. government officials.

Defense officials nevertheless considered the findings serious enough to submit a report to the House and Senate intelligence committees late last year that, among other things, mentioned
