SUBJECT: CORRECTED COPY: EMBASSY MAPUTO TERRORIST FINANCE 
COORDINATION OFFICER 
 
REF: STATE 201391 
 
1. (SBU) THE FOLLOWING RESPONSES ARE KEYED TO QUESTIONS 
RAISED IN THE REFERENCED CABLE. 
A) EMBASSY MAPUTO'S TERRORIST FINANCE COORDINATION 
OFFICER (TFCO) IS DCM JAMES DUDLEY. CONTACT DETAILS: 
Phone: 258-1-492-797 
Fax: 258-1-490-071 
Cell: 258-82-306-645 
E-mail:dudleyjl@state.gov 
TFCO Deputy and Action Officer is James Potts, Economic- 
Political Officer. Contact details are: 
Phone: 258-1-492-797 
Fax: 258-1-490-114 
Cell: 258-82-305-899 
E-mail: pottsjh@state.gov 
B) DISCUSSIONS OF TERRORIST FINANCE ISSUES ARE CARRIED 
OUT, AS NEEDED, IN WEEKLY ECON-POLITICAL SECTION 
MEETINGS AND IN POST SECURITY GROUP MEETINGS. 
C) Post does not have a separate formal TF working 
group. 
D) Post believes that contact with TFCOs at other posts 
would be useful. This does not happen currently. Most 
sharing of best practices can be done through posting on 
the EB classified website, but a regional meeting might 
also be useful. 
E) The Banco de Mocambique, the country's financial 
regulatory body, continues to work with Post on 
terrorist finance issues. Bank officials have been 
cooperative and have the capacity to undertake certain 
measures, such as freezing bank accounts as needed, but 
lack investigative capacity. It remains to be seen if 
public diplomacy and community education is needed to 
increase the Bank's investigative tools. 
F) Neither the TFCO nor the deputy has received 
terrorist finance training from FSI or other sources. 
G) Post requests detailed contact information for 
appropriate State and Treasury officials on terrorist 
finance-related cables, in order to more effectively 
make follow-up inquires as a result of our contacts with 
local officials.
