US embassy cable - 03DJIBOUTI1830

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.

REF: STATE 238713 
 
1. (SBU) Charge d'Affaires Tim Smith passed reftel 
information on high-risk sources of radiation to Djiboutian 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Secretary Badri Ali Bogoreh 
October 2. Bogoreh looked at the information and promised to 
pass it to the Djiboutian National Research Center.  He 
believes, however, that there are very few sources of 
radioactivity, including X-ray machines, in Djibouti, and 
that most of those machines and materials would be in the 
hands of the French or U.S. military.
