1.(S/NF) On September 11, we met with Ashraf Mohsen, Deputy
Assistant Foreign Minister for Counter Terrorism, and
informed him of the anticipated release from prison of
convicted terrorist financier Khalifa Muhammad Turki
al-Subaiy. With respect to cooperation on travel
restrictions and asset freezes, Mohsen said Egypt would
endeavor to cooperate to the extent it was able, but urged
that we provide additional details to Egypt on al-Subaiy and
his activities. Mohsen suggested that any additional
information be provided through intelligence liaison channels.
2.(SBU) Biographical Note on Mohsen: Mohsen told us he was
recently designated the Ministry of Foreign Affairs'
"Coordinator for Counter Terrorism." As such, Mohsen said he
is a member of Foreign Minister Aboul Gheit's cabinet and
reports directly to Aboul Gheit. Mohsen formerly reported to
the MFA's Assistant Minister for Legal Affairs. Mohsen's new
full title is Deputy Assistant Foreign Minister and
Coordinator for Counter Terrorism.
