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: AFGHAN ATTENDANCE AT UNESCO CONFERENCE: YOUTH AT 
THE CROSSROADS - A FUTURE WITHOUT VIOLENT RADICALIZATION 
 
REF: A. 08 STATE 46958 
     B. 08 STATE 46755 
 
1. (U) This is an action request.  See paragraph 3. 
 
2. (U) The Afghan Ministry of Education nominated Kabul 
University Acting Chancellor Professor Mokamel Alkozai to 
participate in the UNESCO conference in Bahrain June 15-17: 
Youth at the Crossroads - A Future without Violent 
Radicalization (REF A).  Given continuing reports that 
extremists are recruiting on the Kabul University campus, we 
strongly support his attendance.  We believe it would be in 
the USG's interest to have a well-placed Kabul University 
campus official participate in a solutions-oriented, best 
practices conference. 
 
3. (U) The Afghan Government does not have the money to send 
Professor Alkozai to the conference.  We request the 
Department consider funding Professor Alkozai's travel and 
accommodation expenses.
