CIA director "fuming" after Havana syndrome strikes team member in India[2]

A US intelligence officer traveling in India earlier this month with CIA
director William Burns reported experiencing a mysterious health incident and
symptoms consistent with so-called Havana syndrome, according to a report by
CNN[3]. The officer received immediate medical care upon returning to the US.

The case raises fears that such incidents are not only increasing, but
potentially escalating, unnamed officials told CNN and The New York Times[4].
The new incident within Burns' own team reportedly left the CIA chief "fuming"
with anger.

The director's schedule is tightly guarded, and officials do not know if the
affected intelligence officer was targeted because the officer was traveling
with the director. If the health incident was an attack carried out by an
adversarial intelligence agency—as feared—it's unclear how the adversarial
agency learned of the trip and was able to prepare an attack. It's also
possible, however, that the officer was targeted for other reasons and without
knowledge that the officer was traveling with the director.

[...] The incident is the second high-profile case in less than a month. On
August 24, another so-called "anomalous health incident" affecting US embassy
staff in Hanoi, Vietnam, came to light. It is still unclear how many staff
members were affected in that incident, but NBC News reported that two US
personnel were medevaced out[5] of the country.
