A US intelligence officer, who travelled to India earlier this month, has reported symptoms of the mysterious Havana syndrome, an illness that has reportedly afflicted more than 100 US diplomats and spies since 2016, according to a report.
Officials said they were investigating whether the officer was targeted because he was travelling with CIA director William Burns.
Mr Burns was “fuming” with anger after he was briefed about the officer’s condition, a source told CNN. The officer received medical attention as soon as he reached the US.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel An unfortunate occourance, and I'm sure not the last. As long as they can opperate in secreat with no countermeasures they will increase the frequencey of their attacks.

PO2 Russell "Russ" Lincoln - I'm surprised that the article doesn't address whether or not Cuban citizens living in the same general area experienced the same symptoms. It seems to me that would be essential for this conclusion. Surly, these neurotoxins aren't limited to an affinity for U.S. diplomats.

Sgt Jerry Genesio - I didn't find any follow up material on this. It is something to keep a watch for.
