1. (U) In response to reftel Leahy vetting requests, the
Department has reviewed its files and finds it possesses no
credible information of gross violations of human rights at
this time by the members of the Lebanese Internal Security
Forces and Lebanese Armed Forces personnel listed in reftels.
If at any time the Embassy becomes aware of any information
regarding incidents which could be deemed to be credible
information of a gross violation of human rights by these
individuals, the Embassy should so inform the Department.
(Note: Reftel Antonios-Irwin email exchanges include
Lebanese Armed Forces vetting groups AH, AI, AJ, and AK, yet
to arrive by cable but vetted by the Department. End note.)
