US Embassy in Berlin Latest to Suffer Attack from Mystery Weapon

Linkedin Share

Over the course of the last several years, it has begun to feel as though we the people are living through some sort of movie.  The sheer pace at which unusual and dramatic events have occurred has been blinding, and there has never been a time in our history that feels as fantastical as this.

A pandemic.  A television star in the White House.  Murder hornets.  The 2020 election debacle.

And, of course, mysterious ray gun weapons that some unknown actor has been using to target American diplomats. 

Police opened an investigation in August into several cases of so-called Havana syndrome among staff at the U.S. embassy in Berlin, Der Spiegel reported on Friday.

The syndrome – a mysterious set of ailments that include migraines, nausea, memory lapses and dizziness – first came to public attention in 2016 after dozens of diplomats at the U.S. mission in Havana, Cuba, complained of the symptoms.

Around 200 U.S. officials and family members have suffered from the syndrome worldwide, CIA Director William Burns said in July.

Burns would go on to suggest that Russia may have something to do with these attacks, but the Kremlin has long denied any involvement.

While many of these attacks have occurred in and around various US embassies, there have been some more serious targets as well.  These include an incident within hundreds of feet of the White House, and an incident that caused a delay in the Vice President’s travel plans just months ago.
