(sbu) Post delivered reftel Preliminary Threat Assessment
regarding cash couriers to Mark Moher, Senior Coordinator for

non-paper and to further dialogue with the USG. He added
that Canada wants to be helpful on the cash courier issue,
but it has "no clear evidence as to what magnitude" terrorist

any USG information that would show this to be an "severe and
urgent" matter.
