1. (C) The Charge delivered June 27 ref A letter from the
Secretary to Ministry of Foreign Affairs Undersecretary
SIPDIS
Khaled Al-Jarallah on the five Kuwaiti nationals detained at
Guantanamo. (Senior MFA officials returned to work June 26
after accompanying the Amir on a 10-day trip to Asian
countries.) He restated U.S. interest in transferring the
detainees to Kuwaiti custody and noted that in order to do
so, the Department of Defense required additional information
on the GOK's efforts to monitor detainees repatriated to
Kuwait and to prevent them from carrying out future crimes.
He shared with the U/S ref B questions, commenting that the
questions would be taken up soon with the Kuwaiti Ambassador
to the U.S.
2. (C) Al-Jarallah responded that the GOK was eager to
resolve the detainee issue, hopefully before the September
visit of the Amir to Washington. He asserted that the five
detainees would be closely monitored and subject to travel
bans, and said the GOK would respond to the DOD questions as
soon as possible.
