US embassy cable - 03ABUDHABI561

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.

TERRORIST FINANCE -- UAE WILL FREEZE ASSETS OF ENTITIES DESIGNATED IN E.O. 13224 LISTS 27, 28, 29, 30
