1. (S/NF) Summary: In reaction to the terrorist attack in
Yemen today AmEmbassy Montevideo convened an EAC. The RSO
provided details on our additional security measures. In
attendance at the EAC were the DCM, RSO, RAOL, DAO, ODC,
POL/ECON, MGMT, and MSG.


2. (S/NF) Shortly after learning of the attack in Yemen the
RSO called in all SDU shifts, an additional LGF shift, and
additional police. These additional personnel were deployed
around the chancery from 0800-1200 local time. We will
provide the same level of enhanced security tomorrow from
0800-1200, on the off chance this attack was one among others
planned world-wide.


3. (S/NF) We have also mobilized the Ambassador's second
bodyguard (they usually work alternate days) and both of them
will cover the Ambassador (one serving as an advance agent)
for the next two weeks. We will also deploy additional SDU
personnel for the next two weeks. We have sufficient funding
in our current budget to support this augmentation.


4. (S/NF) All intelligence agencies at post report there is
no/no specific threat information.
