US expels two Cuban diplomats
‘The United States has expelled two diplomats from the Cuban Embassy in Washington, DC, according to Department of State spokesperson Heather Nauert.
Nauert said on Wednesday the expulsions were in response to a series of attacks on a group of US diplomats in Havana with a covert sonic weapon.
“Some US government personnel who were working in our embassy in Havana, Cuba on official duty… they reported some incidents which have caused a variety of physical symptoms,” Nauert stated.
“We can tell you that on May 23, the State Department took further action. We asked two officials who were accredited at the embassy of Cuba in the United States to depart the United States. Those two individuals have departed the United States,” she said.
American officials told The Associated Press that five diplomats, some along with their spouses, had been affected by the attacks in which a covert sonic weapon allegedly was used. The FBI and Diplomatic Security Service are investigating.’
