.
(C) Pol/Econ Chief June 7 delivered reftel demarche
concerning the USG message on Muqtada Al Sadr outreach to MFA
Assistant Under Secretary for Coordination and Follow Up
Shaikh Abdul Aziz bin Mubarak Al Khalifa. Shaikh Abdul Aziz
said he was not aware of any planned visit to Bahrain by a
senior Al Sadr advisor. Al Sadr, he said, "is not our kind
of guy," contrasting him with Abdul Aziz Al Hakim, who
visited Bahrain earlier. If an Al Sadr representative came
to Bahrain, the GOB would deliver a strong message on the
need to stop the violence and promote reconciliation.
