US embassy cable - 05DJIBOUTI1046

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: TD-314/63692-05 
 
Classified By: RSO Gary Stoner for reason 1.4(b), (d), and (g) 
 
1. (S) Post convened a meeting of the Emergency Action 
Committee (EAC) on October 18, 2005 to review recent threat 
reporting received by the COS. The EAC discussed the 
potential of attacks on U.S. government interests and the 
addition of needed security measures to mitigate the threat. 
Potential targets in Djibouti are listed in the reference. 
 
2. (S) Due to the sensitive nature of the information, the 
EAC met to discuss releasable information. The EAC was 
composed of the Ambassador, DCM, RSO, COS, USLO, ARSO, POL, 
PAO, CTJF-HOA, USAID and CONS. The EAC was informed that the 
information was reported by Italian intelligence service. 
The EAC believes that this report concurs with recent threat 
reporting from the region and shows a continual and 
legitimate desire on behalf of terrorists to conduct attacks 
in Djibouti. 
 
3. (S) Mission personnel have been at a heightened level of 
security awareness for a period of time and are carrying out 
appropriate personal security measures. The EAC concluded 
that a warden message will be issued due to the heightened 
sensitivities during the month of Ramadan the community 
should practice personal security and increase vigilance. The 
EAC discussed the current security posture and no additional 
security measures are to be implemented at this time. 
 
4. (S) Post continues to coordinate closely with Host Nation 
security, US Military and French Military counterparts to 
monitor intelligence and threat information that may have an 
impact on security. 
 
5. (U) POC is RSO Gary Stoner at 253-35-39-95.
