1. (S) Post convened a meeting of the Emergency Action
Committee (EAC) on October 18, 2005 to review recent threat
reporting received by the COS. The EAC discussed the
potential of attacks on U.S. government interests and the
addition of needed security measures to mitigate the threat.
Potential targets in Djibouti are listed in the reference.


2. (S) Due to the sensitive nature of the information, the
EAC met to discuss releasable information. The EAC was
composed of the Ambassador, DCM, RSO, COS, USLO, ARSO, POL,
PAO, CTJF-HOA, USAID and CONS. The EAC was informed that the
information was reported by Italian intelligence service.
The EAC believes that this report concurs with recent threat
reporting from the region and shows a continual and
legitimate desire on behalf of terrorists to conduct attacks
in Djibouti.


3. (S) Mission personnel have been at a heightened level of
security awareness for a period of time and are carrying out
appropriate personal security measures. The EAC concluded
that a warden message will be issued due to the heightened
sensitivities during the month of Ramadan the community
should practice personal security and increase vigilance. The
EAC discussed the current security posture and no additional
security measures are to be implemented at this time.


4. (S) Post continues to coordinate closely with Host Nation
security, US Military and French Military counterparts to
monitor intelligence and threat information that may have an
impact on security.


5. (U) POC is RSO Gary Stoner at 253-35-39-95.
