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 O N F I D E N T I A L ABU DHABI 004952 SIPDIS STATE FOR S/I, AND NEA/I AND NEA/ARPI E.O. 12958: DECL: 12/06/2015 TAGS: PREL, ASEC, IZ, AE SUBJECT: IRAQ INTERIOR MINISTER PLEASED WITH UAE LAW ENFORCEMENT COOPERATION Classified By: DEPUTY CHIEF OF MISSION MARTIN R. QUINN, REASONS 1.4 (B) AND (D). 1. (U) Iraq's Interior Minister Bayan Jabr Al Zubeidi was in Abu Dhabi December 6 to thank the UAEG for supporting the development of Iraq's security apparatus. During his visit, Al Zubeidi met with his UAE counterpart, Interior Minister Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and toured Abu Dhabi Police facilities, including the police directorate, operations center, and police college. Sheikh Saif told Al Zubeidi that the UAE was prepared to assist the Iraqis in restoring security and stability, according to the UAE's official news agency. "There is close cooperation and direct coordination between us that could bolster bilateral relations," Sheikh Saif said. 2. (U) Al Zubeidi thanked the UAE's late President Sheikh Zayed for supporting the Iraqi government's development of a modern security system, including a national ID card program, according to the Arabic language daily "Al Ittihad." He noted that the ID cards cannot be forged. Al Zubeidi also thanked President Khalifa and Sheikh Saif for allowing the Iraqi police and military to receive training from Germany on UAE soil during the past two years. During tours of Abu Dhabi Police facilities, Al Zubeidi reportedly marveled at the newest technology in the security field. At the police directorate, he witnessed how an electronic network allows the directorate and satellite police stations to communicate with one another. He also received a briefing about the role and structure of the Criminal Investigations Department, and visited the criminal forensic laboratory. Following his meetings, Al Zubeidi stated that he was convinced that the main purpose of the Abu Dhabi Police was to "preserve the accomplishments" the UAE had made and "support Abu Dhabi,s stability." 3. (C) He also made a surprise appearance at the Abu Dhabi Business Council dinner where he sat next to Sheikh Hamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Planning and Economy Department. 4. (C) Comment: Interior Minister Al Zubeidi's ulterior motive for coming to the UAE at this time may have had more to do with his hopes of courting support for his political aspirations in advance of Iraq's December 15 elections.
