Classified By: RSO Robert Starnes for reason 1.5c.


1. (SBU) On September 1, 2007, between 09:50 to 10:10 hours,
a Pol/Off observed possible surveillance at his residence in
Bridgetown.


2. (SBU) Upon arriving at his residence, the Pol/Off
observed a white van (registration XA-4628) parked across the
street from his residence. The occupant of the van is
described as a Middle Eastern male, approximately 5'08",
heavy build, slightly balding with a light gray beard.


3. (SBU) When the Pol/Off passed the parked van and pulled
into a driveway, the van driver reversed his vehicle, passed
the Pol/Off's vehicle, and looked directly at the Pol/Off and
his vehicle's license plate.


4. (SBU) The Pol/Off recalled seeing this same van and
driver, about four to five times in the past three months,
parked in the same location (near his residence),and
departing the area as soon as the Pol/Off arrived. The
Pol/Off noted that each sighting has been on Saturday morning
when the family has returned from shopping.


5. (SBU) RSO informed the local police of the possible
surveillance. The police assigned a squad to monitor the
suspect's activities.


6. (SBU) On September 10, 2007, Sgt. Michael McClean, Royal
Barbados Police Force (RBPF) scheduled a meeting with the
Pol/Off and RSO. Sgt. McClean informed that the RBPF has
surveilled the subject and identified his residence. The
RBPF is working with local immigration authorities to
determine the suspect's country of origin and immigration
status. The RBPF will pass the suspect's country of origin
to the RSO and request RSO assistance to liaise with
authorities from the country of origin to verify the
suspect's bona fides.


7. (C) The suspect is identified as:

-- NAME: KAJI, Abkulhai Ahmed
-- DOB: 25-Sept-1955
-- POB: Unknown
-- BARBADOS ID: 550925-7019

8. (C) Legat, DEA, and ORA record checks were negative for
the suspect.

contractor has been asked to increase the roving patrol by
the Pol/Off's residence.


10. (U) Post will report additional information as
appropriate.
