UNCLAS DAR ES SALAAM 000141 SIPDIS SENSITIVE SIPDIS AF/E FOR BARBARA YODER E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: KTFN PGOV PREL TZ SUBJECT: TERRORISM FINANCE: TERRORIST FACILITATORS AND INCITERS REF: STATE 05631 ¶1. (SBU) The Government of Tanzania will contact the Bank of Tanzania regarding Mullah Krekar and Mohammed Moumou due to the United Nations' 1267 Sanctions Committee having placed them on the 1267 list, Susan Mkapa, Director of the Legal Services Department of the Ministry of Finance, told Econoff on January 29. Mkapa told Econoff that the GOT's process regarding 1267 list designations is for her office to draft a letter for review by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance. The Permanent Secretary sends the letter to the Bank of Tanzania and reply to the Ministry. Mkapa said her office would notify the Embassy of the Bank of Tanzania's response. ¶2. (SBU) Mkapa clarified that the GOT does not have a system of domestic designation and does not act in response to other nations' domestic designations. Therefore, the GOT will await United Nations action before taking action regarding Hamed Al-Ali, Jaber Al-Jalamah and Mubarak Al-Bathali. Econoff encouraged the GOT to begin an investigation of these three individuals so that it may take swift action when the United Nations makes the GOT's requisite designation. Mkapa agreed that was a sensible approach. RETZER
