If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

SUBJECT: QABOOS PUBLICLY HAILS NEW IRAQI PRESIDENT 
 
 
1. (U) Sultan Qaboos sent a congratulatory cable of greetings 
on April 8 to Jalal Talabani on the occasion of his election 
as president of Iraq, "wishing him good health and success in 
fulfilling the aspirations of the people of Iraq for 
stability, progress and prosperity," according to the Oman 
News Agency.  The Sultan sent a similar message to new Iraqi 
PM Ibrahim Jaafari. 
 
2. (SBU) Minister Responsible for Foreign Affairs Yusuf bin 
Alawi had previously assured the Ambassador that Oman would 
be among the first to congratulate a new Iraqi government. 
Having now come through on that pledge, we will watch to see 
if disbursal of Oman's Iraq reconstruction pledge 
(approximately USD 5 million) is likewise soon fulfilled.
