US embassy cable - 05SANAA1052

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 Timothy Laas for reasons 1.4(b) and (d) 
 
1.  (S/NF)  Post EAC convened on April 27 at 2:30 P.M. to 
review reverse tripwires for Authorized Depature status (per 
reftel C).  Key offices and personnel represented at the 
meeting included: AMB, DCM, DAT, FPD, IPC, MO, LEGATT, POLE, 
RMAS, OMC, RSO, CONS, PD and USAID.  Members of the EAC 
unanimously agreed that all tripwires specified in reftel C 
are applicable.  EAC members also reviewed the text of a 
draft message regarding the discontinuation of authorized 
departure status. 
 
2.  (S/NF)  Discussing other concerns, the Ambassador noted a 
report from MOI detailing the recent arrest of an individual 
associated with Al-Houthi who reportedly stayed in a hotel 
near the Embassy.  RSO discussed a recent grenade attack near 
the Sana'a Customs Authority, explaining that the reports 
available have been very inconsistent regarding the intent 
and target of the attack.
