INFORMATION
Classified By: RSO Robert J. Whigham for Reason 1.4 (d)

1. (SBU) SUMMARY: On 17 September 2007, at approximately
1300, an individual visited Embassy Nairobi claiming to have
information of a security nature and provided a photo of an
alleged "container of uranium stolen from Germany or
Belgium". Reporting Assistant Regional Security Officer
(ARSO) concluded that the individual had no information of an
imminent threat to US facilities, personnel, or interests.
End Summary.
2. (S/NF) DETAILS: On 17 September 2007, ARSOI interviewed a
walk-in (Subject) claiming to have information about the sale
of uranium. Subject only provided a Kenyan Driver's License
as proof of identity which does not contain any biographical
data information. The Subject provided a photo of an alleged
container of uranium (serial number 234763/77),which was
also alleged to have been stolen from Germany or Belgium.
Subject claims that his friend, WAMBIREO (Last Name Unknown)
requested Subject to "find a buyer for uranium", which could
be purchased for One Billion Kenyan Schillings. Subject
stated that his motivation for providing the information was
concern that his friend was going to cause harm. Subject
would/could not provide further details and was unaware of
the location of the alleged uranium.
3. (S/NF) Subject was identified as:
Name: NJOROGE, David Kisinga
Kenyan Driver's License Number: C597768
Place of Birth: Nairobi, KENYA
Date of Birth: Unknown
4. (S/NF) ARSOI discussed the details of the interview with
GRPO and it was determined that the Subject's story is not
viable and that Subject is possibly an information peddler.
5. (SBU) RSO COMMENTS: ARSOI assesses the Subject to be
mentally sound, lucid, and coherent, but questions the
credibility of the Subject's information. RSO Nairobi
requests DS/ICI/PII and informed RSOs run relevant database
checks for any information regarding Subject and forward
positive responses.
6. (U) POC is ARSOI Michael Fogarty.
