US embassy cable - 05ASUNCION887

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.

REF: STATE 121757 
 
Post has identified key government, media and religious 
community leaders to approach regarding wider condemnation of 
extremist violence.  In the wake of the recent kidnapping and 
murder of Cecilia Cubas that bore clear links to the FARC, 
the Paraguayan government and public are sensitive to the 
need to denounce and combat terrorism.  Paraguay's Arab 
population is largely Christian.  Nevertheless, we will seek 
to expand our contacts within the Paraguayan Muslim community 
and encourage Catholic and other leaders to condemn terrorism 
as incompatible with their religious doctrine.
