this license.

Aerospace Industries (IAI).



4. ACTION BANGKOK: Embassy is requested to make inquiries
with appropriate host government officials to determine if
the TMOD ordered the IMUs from IAI and if so, that the

shipped from the United States on August 12, 2008. Post is
requested to exercise its contacts within TMOD to verify this
