The US believes several State Department employees at the US embassy in Havana were subjected to an "acoustic attack" using sonic devices that left at least two with such serious health problems they needed to be brought back to the US for treatment, several senior State Department officials told CNN. One official said the employees could have suffered permanent hearing loss as a result.
The employees affected were not at the same place at the same time, but suffered a variety of physical symptoms since late 2016 which resembled concussions. http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/09/politics/us-cuba-acoustic-attack-embassy/index.html |

We expelled 2 Cuban diplomats over this today.

Why on earth would someone in Cuba do this?
Some of the Americans working in the embassy have severe hearing loss. http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/08/09/u_s_diplomats_in_cuba_experience_hearing_loss_from_sonic_weapon.html |

Nothing really to do with this but not too long ago I met a retired aviator who was telling me about his time in Cuba during the early 1990s flying TA-4Js,frequently armed in case the Cubans needed clusterbombed. I thought that sounded a little funny but damned if I didn't manage to find a picture of a Skyhawk trainer from Gitmo armed with CBUs and a pair of AIM-9s!

So the Cubans attacked the US Embassy? Sounds like we need to sever all relations with Cuba and invoke Article 5 of the NATO treaty.
