Cuba says Canada's withdrawal of diplomat families unjustified

HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuba said on Wednesday Canada's decision to withdraw the families of diplomats posted at its embassy due to mysterious illnesses that have affected both its staff and that of the U.S. embassy in Havana was "lacking justification."

Canada and the United States say some of their diplomats posted on the Communist-run island have reported symptoms such as dizziness, headaches and nausea since late 2016, with medical specialists even detecting possible brain injuries.
