Sunday, February 3, DCM raising subject with Asst U/S for 
International Cooperation.  Econchief followed up with the Ministry 
of Interior's coordinator for combating trafficking in WMD Major 
Mohamed Al-Kitbi and the MFA representative to the UAE's 
Counterproliferation Task Force Yacoub Al-Hosani.  Both committed to

complicated and likely to be more expensive than a direct route.

subject containers (MSCU8768579, SEAL # 6044820 & MSCU9905362, SEAL 
#6044821) were shifted in Antwerp from the MSC Jordan 40R to the MSC

Jebel Ali port, UAE, between February 10-12.
