US embassy cable - 05SANAA2988

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.

Classified By: A/DCM TOM BURKE, FOR REASONS 1.4 (B) AND (D). 
 
(C) Post has consulted a variety of sources to determine, per 
reftel instructions, if an extradition treaty or other 
mechanism exists between the ROYG and the Transitional 
National Government of Iraq, but has not found any evidence 
of such an agreement.  The Foreign Minister and his deputy 
told Ambassador that they were not aware of an extradition 
treaty.  An official at the Iraqi Embassy in Sanaa told 
Pol/Econ FSN the same.  Searches conducted by Embassy staff 
via the Internet and Library of Congress also did not turn up 
any indications of a treaty.  Post will report immediately if 
we receive any different information on this issue.
