Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

  • 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.

1.  (SBU) Nebjosa Svjetlica of the Ministry of Defense's 
international cooperation office confirmed to us on September 15 that 
the September 3 explosion at the Prvi Partizan munitions plant (Ref 
A) would have no long-term impact on production as there was no 
damage to production lines or equipment. 
 
2.  (SBU) On September 17, a U.S. businessman who has several 
contracts with Prvi Partizan confirmed to us that the explosion had 
not damaged any equipment but explained that it had necessitated an 
extensive clean-up.  He expected production to resume at normal 
levels in late September.  (Further details on cause and scope of 
accident in Ref B.)
