US embassy cable - 05KUWAIT3858

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) The Ambassador reiterated U.S. concerns over Syrian 
interference in Lebanon to Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Shaykh 
Dr. Mohammed Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah in an August 27 meeting. 
 The Ambassador stated that Syria has refused to cooperate 
with the investigation into the assassination of former 
Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Al-Hariri.  The FM asked how 
the GOK should interpret the August 25 UN Security Council 
statement urging all states to cooperate with the 
investigation.  The Ambassador responded that the statement, 
while not mentioning Syria by name, was clearly aimed 
directly at the Syrian leadership, and provided text of 
Ambassador Bolton's remarks to the FM.
