(SECO) Head of Export Control Licensing Division Juergen
Boehler contacted acting POLE counselor to report that he had
decided upon further reflection that he would notify MTCR
points-of-contact of this second "denial." (reftel A)
Boehler explained that he wanted MTCR partners to be aware of
this "attempt of diversion" via International Technical and
Engineering Services Corp. (Amman, Jordan) to Syria, which
SECO assesses was a second effort by Syria to obtain a
high-camera (reftels).
