1. (C/NF) The United Kingdom intends to seek UN 1267
designation of two additional Libyan Islamic Fighting Group
(LIFG) targets. According to Giles Cutler, of the Foreign
and Commonwealth Office's Sanctions Unit, the UK plans to
seek UN designation for Sarra Properties Limited and Khalid
Balaam. Both targets were identified during the course of
investigations subsequent to the February 2006 designation of
five UK-based LIFG financiers and four UK-based LIFG
entities.
2. (S/NF) Cutler has provided us with draft statements of
case for these two targets (ref),and has requested our
comments. Cutler stressed that the UK will not move forward
with a submission to the UN until they receive word from us
that we will support the designation. Cutler said that the
UK hoped that the U.S. would agree to act as cosponsor of the
designation of these targets. We emphasized that the U.S.
could not support a designation until we completed our own,
rigorous domestic procedures, and encouraged the UK to pass
as much information on the targets as possible through
intelligence channels.
