Classified By: Charge d'Affaires Nabeel Khoury for Reason 1.4(B) & (D).

(S) 1. Embassy EAC convened on 7/17/05 to review local
security conditions. EAC was chaired by CDA and included
representatives from POLE, POLM, RSO, CONS, PD, MGT, DAO,
OMC, FPD, LEGATT, USAID, and CCE-Y.

(S) 2. EAC members began by discussing the probable lifting
of subsidies on basic goods by the ROYG in the near future.
Members agreed that such an event is likely to be met by some
sort of public response, but that any response is unlikely to
pose a specific risk to the American community. Post will
continue to engage on this issue to keep abreast of any new
concerns.

(S) 3. The committee also discussed reports of possible
terrorist planning against targets in Yemen to coincide with
upcoming 'spectacular' violence in Iraq. While the EAC
agreed that the report warranted caution, it does not mandate
a change in Post security posture at this time. EAC members
will continue to evaluate the situation as more information
becomes available.
