Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(U) Classified by Charge d'Affaires, a.i. Richard A. Albright for reasons 1.5 (b) and (d). 2. (C) Charge d'Affaires delivered ref information on pending terrorist financing cases to UAE Central Bank Governor Sultan Nasser Al-Suweidi 8/27 and expressed the USG's appreciation for the UAE's continuing cooperation in the area of terrorist financing. Al-Suweidi responded that he was very happy to receive the information and noted that it "would be very helpful" in clearing up a number of pending cases currently with the public prosecutor. 3. Comment: By law, the UAE Central Bank can freeze the assets of a bank account for seven days, but then must release the funds or present evidence to the public prosecutor charging the account holder with a crime. The UAE Central Bank has frozen a number of accounts in the UAE -- at USG request -- indefinitely and always is eager to receive additional information from us that indemnifies the Bank. End comment. Albright
