Targeting Americans; Kevin Hart | 60 Minutes Full Episodes

Havana Syndrome

• US National Security officials, including White House staff, CIA officers, FBI agents, Military Officers, and their families, have reported mysterious brain injuries.
• The injured believe they were targeted by a secret weapon that fires a high energy beam of microwaves or ultrasound, known as "Havana syndrome."
• A major medical study led by Dr. David Railman of Stanford University found evidence of injury to the auditory and vestibular system of the brain, suggesting directed pulsed radio frequency energy as the most plausible mechanism.
• The case of FBI agent Carrie suggests Russian involvement. She was investigating multiple Russian spies, including Vitali Kovalev, a Russian military electrical engineer who worked as a chef in the US.
