1. (U) Ambassador delivered ref A demarche to Minister of Foreign Affairs Qirbi on May 8. Qirbi said that he had not heard of the organization and that Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not active in Yemen. 2. (C) The FM took the opportunity to comment on the State Department's Report on International Terrorism, which states that Yemen took no action to seize the assets of Abdelmajid Zindani. (Note: Zindani is the rector of al-Iman University and listed by both the U.S. and UN as a financier of terrorism. End note.) Qirbi reiterated the ROYG's longstanding position that in order for the ROYG to take action against Zindani it must receive evidence of his crimes, and he expressed regret that this position was not included in the report (ref B). Ambassador said he would relay ROYG request for information to Department. Krajeski |
