2. (C) Post received the following diplomatic note from the
MFA on April 17.

Begin Text:

Ref: 19/1/5-65437
Date: April 15, 2006

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Bahrain
presents it compliments to the Embassy of the United States
of America in the Kingdom of Bahrain and, referring to the
Embassy's two notes dated January 21 and March 11, 2006
regarding the detained Bahraini citizens at Guantanamo, the
Ministry would like to thank the Embassy for the information
in the two notes about the health and psychological status of
those citizens.

The Ministry would also like to refer to what was circulated
by the local press on April 9, 2006, about Juma Mohammed Al
Dossari and that he tried to commit suicide again in March

2006. The Ministry requests that the Embassy verify this news
and keep the Ministry informed.

The Ministry would also like to emphasize the desire of the
Kingdom of Bahrain to have the three remaining Bahraini
detainees released and brought back to Bahrain.

The Ministry avails itself of this opportunity to renew to
the Embassy the assurance of its highest consideration.

End Text.


3. (C) Action Request: Post requests Washington guidance on
a response to the MFA's question concerning detainee Al
Dossari.
