By Josh LedermanWASHINGTON — Mysterious incidents affecting the health of American diplomats in Cuba continued as recently as August, the United States said Friday, despite earlier U.S. assessments that the attacks had long stopped. The new U.S. disclosures came the same day that the union representing American diplomats said mild traumatic brain injury was among the diagnoses given to diplomats victimized in the attacks. As the bizarre saga has unfolded, the U.S. has encouraged its diplomats to report any strange physical sensations. Yet the confirmation that at least some diplomats suffered brain injury suggested the attacks caused more serious damage than the hearing-related complaints that were initially reported. Associated Press writers Michael Weissenstein in Havana, Rob Gillies in Toronto and Lauran Neergaard in Washington contributed to this report.
