1. (SBU) This cable contains an action request in para 4.
2. (C) During a meeting with the Ambassador February 6,
Justice Minister Marat Kaiypov asked if the USG could confirm
whether any Kyrgyz citizens are currently being held in U.S.
military detention facilities, such as Guantanamo. Kaiypov
specifically referenced a Mr. Abdubakh Abdykanov, who he
claimed was kidnapped at gunpoint by "Islamic extremists"
while driving a truck in Tajikistan "several years ago."
Kaiypov did not have information, other than the fact of the
disappearance, to explain why Abdykanov might be held in a
U.S. facility.
3. (C) On February 25, the Kyrgyz Ministry of Foreign Affairs
forwarded by diplomatic note a letter from Minister Kaiypov
asking for any information on Abdykanov. Abdykanov was born
on October 17, 1958 in the Suzak District, Jalalabad Oblast
(previously Osh Oblast),Kyrgyzstan.
4. (C) Post requests the Department coordinate with the
Department of Defense to request a search of records for
Abdykanov.
