(C) Embassy Tokyo delivered reftel points to MOFA
International Counterterrorism Cooperation Division Deputy
Director Miyako Ishimura and Ministry of Finance
International Bureau Legal Research Office Deputy Director
Hiro Yamashita. Embassy Tokyo noted that the designation of
Mustafa Hamid, Muhammad Rab,a al-Sayid al-Bahtiyti, Ali
Saleh Husain, and Sa,ad bin Laden as terrorist sponsors
under UNSC Resolution 1267 prohibits UN member states from
engaging in any transactions with the individuals. We noted
that the United States plans to announce a domestic
designation under Executive Order 13224 regardless of the
status of the Committee listing. Ishimura stated that Japan
shares U.S. concerns and appreciated our efforts to tell her
government of the designation. She added that as a new UNSC
nonpermanent member, Japan would particularly consider the
request and inform us of any actions taken against the four
individuals.
