Politico: Russian spy unit suspected of directed-energy attacks on U.S. personnel
CIA Director William Burns is now receiving daily briefings on the investigation.
U.S. officials suspect that a notorious Russian spy agency may be behind alleged attacks that are causing mysterious health issues among U.S. government personnel across the world, according to three current and former officials with direct knowledge of the discussions.
Officials do not have a smoking gun linking Russia’s military intelligence unit, the GRU, to the suspected directed-energy incidents, said the people, who were not authorized to speak publicly.

WNU Editor: I am skeptical of this Politico report. Directed-energy attacks against US personnel have been reported in Cuba and in China ....

Well, Cuba and China could have a "blind eye" on GRU operation as long as it is against America.
Dave,
China's internal security agencies are very sharp. They know who to watch, and watch they do.
Jac,
As I said. Cuba I do not know, but China is a different story. They want no outsiders doing dirty work on their territory, regardless of their intentions.
