US embassy cable - 05AMMAN4620

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) In a June 8 meeting, FM Qasrawi asked Charge for U.S. 
assistance in obtaining additional information regarding 
Jordanian detainee Khalid Mahomoud Abdul Wahab Al Asmr (ISN 
US9JO-000589DP).  In a separate meeting, Walid Obeidat of the 
Foreign Minister's private office commented that the FM is 
extremely interested in finalizing this matter, and would be 
able to do so more quickly if provided with  the following 
information on the detainee: 1) place and date of birth; 2) 
national ID number (if any); 
identification document(s) (if any), and mother's maiden 
name.  Comment:  Part of the GOJ interagency community may be 
questioning whether or not the detainee is a Jordanian 
citizen (as opposed to a stateless Palestinian, for example); 
the information requested would resolve this issue for the 
GOJ.
