US embassy cable - 03ABUDHABI2600

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.

presented Ref A demarche and background paper to

On 6/1, Hamdan's office director, Sultan Al- 
Romaithi, contacted Polchief to report that he had 
briefed Ateeq Juma'a, the Intel Advisor to Dubai 
Crown Prince Muhammad bin Rashid Al-Maktoum (MbR), 
on our demarche and suggested that our Consul 
General in Dubai follow-up with MbR's Executive 
Office on the issue.  Dubai CG Olson has requested 
these meetings.
