US embassy cable - 05PARIS3414

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) Per reftel, we informed MFA desk officer for IAEA issues 
Hugues de Longevialle of the Algerian request to us for 
assistance in dealing with the IAEA and its protocols.  We 
also shared our preliminary response, noting that we were 
requesting additional information from the Algerians on their 
program.  Longevialle responded that the MFA had not received 
a similar request.  He contacted us later in the day on May 
17 and confirmed, after consulting with appropriate French 
agencies, that the Algerians had not approached the French. 
He noted, however, that the French mission in Vienna had 
heard of Algeria's interest and that the French mission would 
follow-up, as appropriate.  Separately, MFA DAS-level 
director for North Africa Anne Mohsen also informed us that 
the Algerians had not approached the French.
