English/Español: Rubio Statement on Intelligence Community’s Assessment on Anomalous Health Incidents
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Vice Chairman Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement after the release of a declassified Intelligence Community Assessment on Anomalous Health Incidents (AHIs) commonly referred to as “Havana Syndrome”:
- “Yesterday, the Senate Intelligence Committee received the Intelligence Community’s Assessment on Anomalous Health Incidents (AHIs). Upon first glance, I am concerned that the Intelligence Community (IC) effectively concluded that U.S. personnel, who reported AHI symptoms, were simply experiencing symptoms caused by environmental factors, illness, or preexisting conditions and is potentially rushing to a conclusion while a substantial number of questions remain.
- “As I have said before, something happened here and just because you don’t have all the answers, doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen. I will not accept that all these reported cases were just coincidences and I will continue to work on this issue until we receive real explanations.
- “The Senate Intelligence Committee will continue our ongoing independent review on AHIs and take steps to ensure that those officers affected by AHIs are receiving immediate and comprehensive care as required by law.”

RUBIO SOBRE EVALUACIÓN DE LA COMUNIDAD DE INTELIGENCIA SOBRE INCIDENTES ANÓMALOS DE SALUD
El vicepresidente del Comité Selecto de Inteligencia del Senado de EE.UU., Marco Rubio (R-FL), emitió la siguiente declaración después de la publicación de una evaluación desclasificada por parte de la Comunidad de Inteligencia sobre Incidentes Anómalos de Salud (AHI, por sus siglas en inglés), más conocidos como el “Síndrome de La Habana”:
-
“Ayer, el Comité de Inteligencia del Senado recibió la Evaluación de la Comunidad de Inteligencia sobre Incidentes Anómalos de Salud. A primera vista, me preocupa que la Comunidad de Inteligencia (CI, por sus siglas en inglés) concluyó de manera efectiva que el personal de EE.UU., que reportaron síntomas de AHIs, simplemente estaban experimentando síntomas causados por factores ambientales, enfermedades o condiciones preexistentes y posiblemente se apresure a llegar a una conclusión mientras quedan varias preguntas al respecto.
-
“Como he dicho antes, algo sucedió aquí y solo porque no tenemos todas las respuestas, no significa que no sucedió. No aceptaré que todos estos casos reportados fueron solo coincidencias. Seguiré trabajando sobre este tema hasta que recibamos explicaciones reales.
-
“El Comité de Inteligencia del Senado continuará con nuestra revisión independiente en curso sobre los Incidentes Anómalos de Salud y tomará medidas para garantizar que los oficiales afectados por estos incidentes reciban atención inmediata e integral como lo exige la ley”.
