US embassy cable - 05VIENNA850

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.

(C) Embassy Vienna delivered ref (a) non-paper to MFA 
A/S-equivalent for Internal Security and Counterterrorism 
Johann Froehlich on March 14.  We followed up later the same 
day with Thomas Hajnoczi, head of the Bureau for 
Political-Military Affairs and Common Foreign and Security 
Policy.  The GoA had previously given assurances, per ref 
(b), that Austria supported EU designation of Hizballah (in 
its entirety) as a terrorist organization.  Hajnoczi and 
Froehlich undertook to convey our concerns to Austria's 
Clearinghouserepresentative in time for the March 16 meeting.
