1. (C) CDA delivered Ref. A demarche to MFA Under Secretary
Khaled Al-Jarallah on 8 April. Al-Jarallah thanked CDA for
the advance warning, but cautioned that this was a very
sensitive issue for Kuwait. Al-Jarallah reiterated GOK
requests for evidence against RIHS and UNSCR 1267-designated
terrorist facilitators and noted that the GOK would face
domestic opposition to RIHS,s UN designation.


2. (C) CDA also asked whether the GOK and the Central Bank
of Kuwait had complied with UNSCR 1267 requirements and
frozen the assets of
other recently-designated Kuwaiti terrorist facilitators
(Ref B). Jarallah asserted that the GOK had fully complied
with its UNSCR 1267 obligations.


3. (C) CDA stressed the importance of strenghtening
bilateral cooperation on terrorist financing issues, and
informed Al-Jarallah that Treasury A/S Patrick O,Brien would
soon be visiting Kuwait to discuss these designations and
other CTF issues.
