(C) Pol/Econ Chief delivered ref A notification to Deputy
Foreign Minister Noman on June 5. On ref B demarche
delivered by Ambassador June 1, Noman was unable to elaborate
on Foreign Minister Qirbi's "no objection" response to
Ambassador on the return of Yemeni detainees from GTMO (ref

not received adequate information from the USG on Yemeni
detainees at GTMO to determine that these individuals are, in
fact, Yemeni citizens.
