US embassy cable - 05MUSCAT1589

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.

SUBJECT: OMAN MEDIA PLAY: U.S. SOLDIERS IN AFGHANISTAN 
 
REF: STATE 193560 
 
The alleged desecration of human remains by U.S. soldiers in 
Afghanistan has not received significant media play in Oman. 
Brief wire reports on the issue have been published in the 
interior pages of several Arabic and English newspapers, but 
no locally produced articles or editorials on the subject have 
appeared.  The Embassy will continue to monitor the Omani 
media and report any developments.
