House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence CIA Subcommittee Chairman Rick Crawford has released an unclassified interim report on the investigation into Anomalous Health Incidents (AHIs), commonly referred to as "Havana Syndrome." The report suggests a growing likelihood that foreign adversaries are responsible for some of these incidents and criticizes the Intelligence Community (IC) for obstructing the investigation.

Chairman Mike Turner of the House Intelligence Committee expressed support for Crawford's findings, stating, "I agree with his interim report indicating that foreign adversaries are likely responsible for some AHIs."

Crawford shared insights from his extensive inquiry, saying, "After years of traveling the world holding meetings and hearings with credible whistleblowers and leaders in our Intelligence Community (IC), I have discovered that there is reliable evidence to suggest that some Anomalous Health Incidents (AHIs) are the work of foreign adversaries. Sadly, the IC has actively attempted to impede our investigation."

The interim report outlines several key points:

1. It is increasingly likely a foreign adversary is responsible for some reported AHIs.

2. The Committee found direct evidence suggesting inconsistencies in how the Intelligence Community Assessment on AHIs was developed.

3. The Intelligence Community attempted to hinder the CIA Subcommittee’s investigation.

4. This report marks only the beginning of ongoing investigative efforts by the CIA subcommittee.

5. A substantial classified report containing sensitive information gathered over two years is being finalized by Chairman Crawford.

6. Conclusions published by the DNI in an unclassified assessment on AHI are described as dubious or misleading.

7. Changes are necessary to address irregularities in investigative processes related to AHIs.

8. The U.S. government should establish clear medical care protocols for personnel affected by AHIs.

The interim report emphasizes that many U.S. personnel involved in AHIs continue to face ongoing medical issues.
