Classified By: Political Counselor Robert Downes for reasons 1.4 (d).
1. (SBU) Ministry of Foreign Affairs Third Secretary for
North America Robinson Zapata had no substantive response to
reftel demarche requesting that host countries issue
statements condemning the Al-Askariya shrine bombing. Zapata
agreed, however, to pass talking points to Vice Minister for
North America Maria Pilar Hernandez for further consideration.
2. (C) Comment: Post does not expect any substantive
response from the MFA on this issue. The BRV is a staunch
critic of the US government's policies in Iraq. On March 8,
a group of demonstrators, organized by the government and led
by National Assembly deputy Celia Flores, is expected to
protest in front of the Embassy against the United States'
"occupation" of Iraqi territory.
