(C) Pol/Econ Chief February 26 delivered reftel request for
Bahrain to join the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear
Terrorism to MFA Director for International Organization
Affairs Ghassan Shaikho. Shaikho said that he had already
received information about the Initiative from another
source, possibly the Bahraini mission to the UN, and that he
was studying it. He commented that the Initiative did not
sound like it was "too far" from the Proliferation Security
Initiative, which Bahrain joined in June 2006. He asked if
the USG had looked into whether the two programs are
complementary, and whether the same countries are involved in
both. He promised to give his feedback after reviewing the
Statement of Principles.
