> Its telling that none of the media even once asked themselves WHY someone would want to attack embassy staff in such a bizarre way. Simple answer: intelligence officers work out of embassies. We do it, our adversaries do it, our allies do it. An adversarial intelligence service might do something to disrupt another countries intelligence operations if they thought they could get away with it. A second possible explanation is that it wasn't actually an attack. In the 40's ago the KGB used listening devices where they hid a passive reflector in a building that would later get painted with high power microwaves which would get reflected back and interpreted. Not hard to imagine that this technique was iterated on and potentially still in use, with the side effect of physiological damage. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device)
