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.

UNCLAS ABU DHABI 001782 SIPDIS STATE FOR NEA/ARP E.O. 12958: DECL: N/A TAGS: PREL, PTER, TC SUBJECT: UAE - REACTION TO AL KHOBAR ATTACK IN SAUDI ARABIA 1. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Shaykh Hamdan bin Zayed Al- Nahyan (HBZ) issued a very strong condemnation on May 29 against those who carried out the terror attacks in Al-Khobar. The official statement quoted HBZ as saying that UAE President Shaykh Zayed, the UAEG, and the Emirati people would "put their resources at the disposal of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and further reaffirm their readiness to work alongside the Saudi leadership to eliminate those thugs who are bent on destruction, bloodletting, terrorism and wreaking havoc without any iota of conscience." 2. The UAE's leadership had used harsh words to condemn past bombing attacks in Saudi Arabia and Iraq, but HBZ's language was perhaps the toughest we have seen in a while, including the UAEG's reaction to the November 2003 bombing at a residential compound in Riyadh. HBZ's pledge of solidarity with the Saudi government echoed earlier UAEG promises of support for the Saudis' anti-terror drive after the November 2003 bombing. WAHBA
