1. (U) This is an action request for USUN and EMBASSY Paris.
See paragraph 3.
2. (S) Summary: France is considering whether or not to
request a listing of detained senior al-Qaida leader Khalid
Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) under UNSCR 1267.(Ref) KSM, considered
the "principal architect of the 9/11 attacks," is currently
detained in the U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay.
According to the French Mission, the EU Clearinghouse
recently approved inclusion of KSM on the EU terrorism list,
and the French would also like to add him to the UN's 1267
Consolidated List. The French have asked if the USG would
consider co-sponsoring the designation. End Summary

designated KSM domestically and would like to convey full
support for his listing under 1267. Department instructs
USUN to inform the French Mission at the appropriate level by
March 15 of our positive decision to co-sponsor. EMBASSY
Paris should reiterate this message in capital, likewise at
the appropriate level.
