OTTAWA–Newly-released memos show the federal government sent a Health Canada doctor to Cuba to examine diplomats who suffered everything from nosebleeds to short-term memory loss amid concern about mysterious acoustic attacks.
The internal notes say Dr. Jeffrey Chernin’s June visit to Havana revealed symptoms similar to those experienced by U.S. personnel in Cuba.
The records, obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act, note security patrols were increased around Canadian diplomatic residences in Cuba as a result of the concerns.
