CIA director William Burns named a career undercover spy, who was part of the search for the al Qaeda leader that ended with him being killed by U.S. forces in Pakistan in 2011, the source said. The Wall Street Journal first reported the appointment. Dozens of U.S. diplomats and other officials, including CIA officers, have been afflicted by “Havana Syndrome,” so named because it first was reported by officials assigned to the U.S. embassy in Cuba.
