symptoms. at 1st, the u. s. government considered the cases anomalies, but 5 years later, at least 200 u. s. government officials and some of their relatives are struggling to recover from unexplained health incidence. also known as havana syndrome. the by didn't ministration says these cases have spurred it to find the cause. when you sit down with, with our people in here, ah, what's happened to them? how they been affected? ah, it's very, very power. and it only reinforces in me the absolute conviction that we need to do everything possible for our people to care for them to protect them, to get to the bottom of what happened. the assumption the officials are being attacked with weapons that use lasers or microwaves instead of bullets. similar to what's being demonstrated here. the injuries have turned up in vienna in bogota and

guam, jo and in hanoi, just before vice president comalla harris's visit in august. some speculate russia is behind the attacks a charge the kremlin denies. still cia director bill burns recently warned moscow there would be pay back if true. the trumpet ministration also blamed cuba expelling some of their diplomats in 2017 mark paul morales and his lawyer. believe the government should tell the public all that knows, we don't know what the intelligence community knows truly about these incidents. and if revealing certain information, when caused our country greater problems. but i like to think that hopefully we are the victim and solely the victim in the situation. and that we have something that we can do in response,

dr. say the cases resembled the traumatic brain injuries us forces suffered in i. e . d. attacks during the iraq war. congress recently passed the havana act to make sure the injured get the care they need. but it doesn't address the growing unease . some feel about serving abroad. mark, paula morales says, the cia has stood by him in the past 4 years, but he wants the us to send a message. these attacks won't be tolerated if it is an act of war. and so we're gonna respond appropriately. so i don't think this is just simple sanctions. we don't want to start when we're read over this, but there's going to be have to be some really tough measures taken against her avatar. you know, if it's russia, this is, this is, this is serious business. now, a call to action to protect those who thought they knew the risks that came with their jobs. rosalyn jordan al jazeera washington, people in congress, don all braving snow and sleet to vote in
