Viewing cable 07OTTAWA1063, CANADA'S RESPONSE: AKA MAHAMEDOU OULD SLAHI

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.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #07OTTAWA1063.

Whalen, Policy Advisor, International Crime and Terrorism 
Division, Department of Foreign Affairs and International 
Trade.  Whalen said unless a name or an AKA is on the UNSCR 
1267 comittee's list, Canada has no legal basis on which to 
freeze that person's assets.  Whalen also said he is doubtful 
that Mahamedou Ould Slahi has any assets in Canada but 
promised to investigate and inform Embassy Ottawa if there 
are any assets in Slahi's name in Canada.
