US embassy cable - 04DJIBOUTI392

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.

Classified By: RSO MARC RAMOS FOR REASON 1.4 (F) AND (G) 
 
1. (C) Post convened a modified Emergency Action Committee 
(EAC) on 03/17/2004 to review possible threat 
information outlined in REFTEL. The EAC discussed the release 
of information outlined in REFTEL and concluded that the 
current warden message and travel advisories suffice.  No 
additional security measures are to be implemented at this 
time. 
 
2. (C) The modified EAC was composed of the Ambassador, RSO, 
RAO, USLO, and CONS.  RSO and RAO will notify 
the appropriate authorities, but do not feel at this time 
that an increase in security services is needed.  Appropriate 
Military representatives are aware of the current threat and 
will take measures IAW their SOPs. 
 
3. (C) Post is cognizant of the no double standard rule and 
the issue of releasing REFTEL information. 
Post continues to coordinate closely with Host Nation 
security, US Military and French Military counterparts to 
monitor intelligence and threat information that may have an 
impact on security. 
 
4. (U) POC is RSO Marc Ramos at 253-35-39-95 ext. 2307.
