U.S. to Draw Down Staff at Havana Embassy Following "Sonic Attacks"
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.S. State Department says it's withdrawing more than half its
diplomatic staff from the U.S. Embassy in Cuba, after a series of
unexplained health problems that embassy workers are suffering,
including hearing loss and brain injury. The health problems appear to
be caused by some form of sonic attack. Cuban officials deny any
involvement in the apparent attack, which also affected Canadian
diplomats, and Cuban officials are cooperating with U.S. officials to
investigate the incidents.
