US embassy cable - 04AMMAN2601

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: DCM David Hale for reasons 1.5 (a) and (d) 
 
(C) Post delivered reftel points on Jaysh Al-Mahdi violence 
at OOB as requested. Given the Ambassador's travel outside 
the capital, the DCM contacted the Director of the FM's 
private office, Ali al-Ayed.  Initial reaction was 
sympathetic to the need to call publicly for measures to 
restore calm and restraint. Al-Ayed said he would forward 
this request to FM Muasher today.  The Ambassador and post 
will follow up as necessary.
