SHRINE BOMBING
REF: STATE 28802
(SBU) Post discussed the Al-Askariya shrine bombing
with Icelandic MFA International Institutions Division
Director (and Middle East desk officer) Nikulas
Hannigan February 24. Hannigan informed us that
Iceland had a day earlier associated itself with a
draft declaration by the European Union Presidency
condemning the bombing. Iceland would not issue a
separate statement from that of the EU, Hannigan said,
but would take our demarche into account when
considering additional possible responses to the
incident.
