Among the symptoms were headaches, migraines, dizziness and memory loss. Some reported hearing loud noises and pressure on the brain.
Later, people who have served in many countries, including Western countries such as Austria, have reported similar problems.
According to the CBS program 60 Minutes, the investigation has been going on for five years. To the magazine, the retired officer Greg Edgreen tells that he is certain that Russia was behind the attacks – and that they were part of a worldwide operation to neutralize American service personnel. Edgreen led the Ministry of Defence’s investigation of the incidents.
