¶1. (U) Classified by Ambassador Marcelle M. Wahba
for reasons 1.5 (B) and (D).
¶2. (S) The Ambassador, accompanied by Polchief,
presented Ref A demarche and background paper to
MFA Minstate Hamdan bin Zayid Al-Nahyan on 5/31.
Hamdan was not aware of the issue, but promised to
bring it to the attention of the Dubai authorities.
On 6/1, Hamdan's office director, Sultan Al-
Romaithi, contacted Polchief to report that he had
briefed Ateeq Juma'a, the Intel Advisor to Dubai
Crown Prince Muhammad bin Rashid Al-Maktoum (MbR),
on our demarche and suggested that our Consul
General in Dubai follow-up with MbR's Executive
Office on the issue. Dubai CG Olson has requested
these meetings.
