US embassy cable - 05OTTAWA2834

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: OTTAWA 2148 AND PREVIOUS 
 
Classified By: Wendy Moore, Economics Counselor, Ottawa.  Reason:  1.4( 
e). 
 
(S) Canadian plans to proceed with domestic designation under 
the Criminal Code of HIG (Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's faction, 
Hezb-e-Islami, the Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin) are on hold for 
the time being.  Reftel reported that designation was 
expected to be convened during the late September meeting of 
the Treasury Board.  We learned during a recent meeting at 
Foreign Affairs that HIG is not on the agenda for Treasury 
Board meetings on September 26 or October 3, but our FAC 
contact had not heard the reason for the delay.
