1. (U) UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed
al-Nahyan issued a statement February 22 condemning the bomb
attack in Samarra earlier in the day. The widely published
condemnation stated: "The UAE condemns in the strongest
possible terms this terrorist act which mainly aims at sowing
the seeds of division and sedition among the brotherly Iraqi
people. The UAE appeals to all to deny the terrorists, who
do not respect sanctity, the opportunity to carry out their
schemes which seek to destroy Iraq and divide its people."


2. (C) UAE Vice President and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed
bin Rashid al-Maktoum and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh
Mohammed al-Nahyan also discussed the attack with the
Secretary during their bilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi
