Jeff Flake: No evidence Cubans behind ‘attacks’ on US officials in Havana — "As I said, I won't talk about what I have seen in a classified setting, but nothing is inconsistent with what the Cubans have said, and I think the FBI would say that," said Sen.

Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., says that the United States has not found proof that Cuba launched an attack with an unknown weapon against American officials in the country.

After meeting with Cuban officials, including Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, Flake said that the FBI told the officials that they have found no evidence that the mysterious illnesses experienced by U.S. diplomats and agents were due to attacks.
