Siddiq on April 27 of the contents of reftel A. RAO briefed
Sudanese Intelligence (NISS) at the same time. DLO has
provided flight information to appropriate MOD authorities
and to MFA in a diplomatic note (without specifying the
nature of the cargo).
2. (S) Siddiq, a former intelligence officer, confirmed that
the same level of humane treatment, security and access
assurances previously provided by the GOS with respect to
earlier GTMO transferees, will apply to this latest group as
previously was negotiated with the Embassy and confirmed more
recently with visiting State/DOD team. He agreed that this
information should be treated in a sensitive and confidential
manner prior to the completion of the transfer but added that
leaks could come from the lawyers retained by some of these
detainees, as has sometimes happened in the past.
3. (S) Siddiq confirmed the permission for the refueling of
the plane after landing in Sudan and transferring the
detainees to Sudanese custody and control.
