1. (S) On November 20, Charge presented reftel points to
Kuwait Ministry of Foreign Affairs Under Secretary Khaled
Suliman Al-Jarallah.
2. (S) Jarallah reacted with surprise and incredulity to the
reftel point that Sa'd Al-Azmi had taken up residence in
Yemen. He stated that he shared USG concern regarding the
current and former detainees, remarking that "it's difficult
to trust these people."
3. (S) In light of the travel of former detainees, Jarallah
agreed with USG points requiring assurances that their
movements would be monitored and controlled. He also said
that the GOK would take reftel points seriously, and that he
realized that lax GOK monitoring of the former detainees
would necessarily impede transfer of the four remaining
detainees. He added that he would pass on reftel points to
Ministry of Interior officials for further action. Post will
report any further response, including the request for
current whereabouts of the former detainees, septel.
