Of course B also suggests there is a possibility that it is being caused by equipment the US itself runs and the public stance of being "baffled" serves the multiple purposes of avoiding lawsuits, hiding capabilities, and serving as a useful tool for foreign policy.
A) Because they might actually be baffled. If this is some level of mental illness combined with some level of being able to get out of your assignment, it's going to be difficult to disambiguate.
B) Because, if it's something that they can detect, they may not want to tell the opponents what capabilities they have. If so, they're not going to release the fact that they found it. They will quietly act to mitigate it.
