SUBJECT: PARAGUAY: SPEAKING WITH MUSLIM LEADERS ABOUT
TERRORIST ACTS

REF: STATE 121757

Post has identified key government, media and religious
community leaders to approach regarding wider condemnation of
extremist violence. In the wake of the recent kidnapping and
murder of Cecilia Cubas that bore clear links to the FARC,
the Paraguayan government and public are sensitive to the
need to denounce and combat terrorism. Paraguay's Arab
population is largely Christian. Nevertheless, we will seek
to expand our contacts within the Paraguayan Muslim community
and encourage Catholic and other leaders to condemn terrorism
as incompatible with their religious doctrine.
