¶2. (U) In order to comply with Leahy vetting requirements, this 
cable forwards the names and biodata of one general officer in the 
Afghan National Police (ANP). The Ministry of Interior wishes to 
assign to a top leadership position. UNAMA has reviewed the 
information available on this individual and has found no evidence 
of human rights violations.  (Note: UNAMA's summary of information 
is repeated for Department's information at para 4.  This 
information was collected as part of initial vetting of general 
officers last year; since it may be outdated, we have requested 
UNAMA to update its file.  Should additional information be received 
we will inform Department.  End note.)  Post request Department
