AREQUIPA, Peru – A former officer of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) said she had been attacked by some type of foreign energy weapon and accused the entity of covering up the attacks.
This was reported by the American media Washington Times in a report that identifies the former officer as “Alicia,” due to her previous work for the agency in Africa.
The woman said she still suffers from debilitating injuries after hearing a strange sound in her home in 2021, which the federal government vaguely described as an “abnormal health incident” or AHI.
Malaise is widely known as Havana syndrome because of the hundreds of American diplomats, intelligence personnel and military personnel who say they have been affected after being sent abroad.
“It is a cover-up and it is terrifying and it should be terrifying for all Americans,” highlighted the retired military officer.
Last December, Rep. Rick Crawford, a top member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released a report saying there is “credible evidence” that AHI is “the work of foreign adversaries.” At the same time, analysts pointed to Russia and China as the main suspects.
Alicia explained that she was serving in Africa when she was hit by some type of energy beam while at home one Saturday night.
“I heard a strange noise. Was a really strange sound that I will never, ever forget. And after a second or two, I felt it in my feet, like the reverberation of a speaker (…) The room was spinning, my head began to throb. It hurt a lot and I had a lot of pain in my left ear and my ears started ringing and I thought I was going to faint,” said the former CIA officer.
Alice also spoke with investigative journalist Catherine Herridgewho conducted interviews with more than a dozen patients with similar symptoms, and accused US Intelligence officials of trying to manipulate the perception of the sick and the public about the cause.
Herridge’s investigation also includes multiple sources pointing to CIA Director William Burns, who has allegedly said privately that Russia is carrying out some of the attacks.
For its part, a CIA spokeswoman told Washington Times that the agency “takes care of its people” and is determined to address “this difficult challenge.”
Referring to Burns’ official position on Russian involvement, the spokesperson quoted the director as saying that the job of CIA analysts “is not to validate assumptions, but to ensure an intensive and professional effort” to get as close as possible to the truth. on the ground. “And that is what we have done and continue to do,” he added.
