My guess: your own spies were monitoring your own diplomats, not dissimilar to what happened to the Senate Intelligence Committee [1], just with injuries this time. I wonder if the CIA disagreed or were concerned with what seemed like a Pope Francis/Obama led initiative to mend relations with Cuba, given the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion, and wanted to see how things were progressing at the diplomatic level.
Would explain why the US has remained quiet and why relations with Cuba haven't soured, at least openly. In a country lacking internet infrastructure, a passive surveillance method makes sense - even if it comes with risks.
