Havana Syndrome Lawyer Debunks US Sonic Weapon Use in Venezuela Operation

• A lawyer for Havana Syndrome victims, Mark S. Zaid, refutes claims of US sonic weapon use in a Venezuela operation to capture President Nicolás Maduro.
• The viral claim originated from a Venezuelan security guard's testimony shared by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on X, describing troops bleeding and incapacitated by an "intense sound wave."
• Symptoms described by the guard were likened to effects of directed energy weapons, which use focused waves to disable targets.
• Zaid, who has testified on sonic weapons, stated that while the US government might possess such devices, there's no connection to the Venezuela raid claims.
• US intelligence concluded in March 2023 that Havana Syndrome was not caused by a foreign adversary's energy weapon, despite ongoing speculation.
