1. (S) On 11/10/2005 at approximately 1000 Mr. Alain
Martinet, Honorary Consul for the U.K., called the Ambassador
because he wanted to come to the Embassy to discuss a
security issue. At 1030 the Ambassador met with Mr. Martinet
who passed to the Ambassador that he had been contacted by a
man named "Mohamed". Mohamed claimed to have information
about a planned terrorist attack in London and provided names
and details to Mr. Martinet.

conversation. ORA stated that the subject's name is Mohamed
Omar Guled and he is a known information peddler who has also
approached LEGATT Nairobi and CJTF HOA with the same

when he failed to pass a polygraph. This information has
already been passed to British Intelligence.
