Viewing cable 07OSLO718, NORWAY UNLIKELY TO PROVIDE LEBANESE ARMY ASSISTANCE

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.

(C)  On July 5 we delivered reftel points to MFA Deputy 
Director General for Global Security and Bilateral Relations 
Leif Larsen, who will share the information with MFA 
colleagues in the Middle East and Export Control sections. 
He noted Norway's stringent export regulations which prohibit 
providing material to countries in war, or where conflict is 
threatened.  Larsen also opined that, even if Norway could 
provide the requested ammunition, it would be impossible to 
deliver such ammunition in the aggressive deadline outlined 
under the reftel points.  DATT has separately raised this 
matter with MOD colleagues.
