1. (SBU) On December 4, Post received the following
diplomatic note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
regarding the addition of twenty names to the UN 1267
Sanctions list of individuals/entities associated with Usama
bin Laden, the Taliban or Al Qaeda.

Complimentary opening --

The Ministry wishes to refer to the Embassy's diplomatic
note, which Economic Counselor Robert Silverman delivered to
the Ministry's action officer on Rajab 15, 1427H.,
08/09/2006. The note included a list of 20 names that have
been added to the UN 1267 Committee's consolidated sanctions
list of individuals/entities subject to sanctions as a result
of ties to Al-Qaeda or Taliban.

The Ministry wishes to inform the Embassy that none of the 20
individuals named on the list have financial activities in
Saudi Arabia. In view of our ongoing cooperation, the
Government of Saudi Arabia intends to freeze their assets
should they conduct transactions in the Kingdom.

Complimentary closing --
