The U.S. State Department says it’s withdrawing more than half its diplomatic staff from the U.S. Embassy in Cuba, after a series of unexplained health problems that embassy workers are suffering, including hearing loss and brain injury. The health problems appear to be caused by some form of sonic attack. Cuban officials deny any involvement in the apparent attack, which also affected Canadian diplomats, and Cuban officials are cooperating with U.S. officials to investigate the incidents.
