SUMMARY AND OBJECTIVES 
---------------------- 
¶2. (SBU) The United States Government is in the final stages 
of reviewing the third tranche of names circulated by the UN 
(al-Qaida/Taliban Sanctions) Committee chair in furtherance 
of the committee's work toward completing a comprehensive 
review by June 2010 of the UN 1267 Consolidated List, as 
mandated in paragraph 25 of UNSCR 1822.  Department would 
like at this time to share with partner nations key findings 
thus far of our review, which is based on an examination of 
all available information, including information provided to 
us by UN members in response to our request in ref A.  If 
partner nations have any last minute additional information, 
they should provide it as soon as possible (but no later than 
October 27) so that 
we may update the committee (by October 30) on the results of 
our review of tranche 3 of names pursuant to paragraph 25 of 
UNSCR 1822.  Department further wishes to convey the 
following points: 
 
 - the seriousness with which the USG is taking its 
obligations pursuant to resolution 1822; 
 - our hope that the results of our review will demonstrate 
our resolve to ensure meaningful review of the sanctions list; 
 - our commitment to ensure fairness and transparency in the 
implementation of sanctions; 
 - our view that the comprehensive review of the sanctions 
list is not simply a de-listing exercise, but that the USG 
has taken this opportunity to thoroughly review our files 
and, to the best of our ability, ensure that the listings we 
continue to support remain appropriate; 
- our view that the 1267 sanctions regime and the 
Consolidated List are essential and dynamic tools in 
combating the threats posed by al Qaeda and the Taliban and 
serve as a means for achieving consensus on the nature of 
these threats and the identification of specific 
targets; 
 - the fact that we anticipate requesting or supporting 
de-listing of names from the 1267 Consolidated List on a 
rolling basis as the review proceeds;

SUBJECT: UN 1267 (AL-QAIDA/TALIBAN) SANCTIONS: RESULTS OF 
USG REVIEW OF TRANCHE 3 NAMES PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 25 OF 
UNSCR 18 
- the fact that the 1822 review process has provided a number 
of opportunities to strengthen narrative summaries and to 
provide more detailed identifiers for listings; 
 - at this time, out of the 83 names circulated under tranche 
3 that the USG originally sponsored or co-sponsored, the USG 
is considering sponsoring or co-sponsoring the delisting of 
29 names (24 individuals, 5 entities) pending further 
consultation with the other 
co-sponsoring Member States. 
 
---------- 
BACKGROUND 
---------- 
¶3. (U) In order to ensure that the sanctions under UNSCR 1267 
are implemented as fairly and transparently as possible, the 
Council made several changes to the regime in resolution 
1822, adopted in June 2008.  These measures include: 
requiring states that request new listings to 
provide information that may be released to the public on the 
proposed party's association with al-Qaida or the Taliban; 
requiring the committee to make available on its website a 
narrative summary of the reasons for listing for each 
individual and entity on the Consolidated List; and 
strengthening the call on states to properly notify parties 
when they are listed for sanctions.  The Council also 
required the Committee to review by June 2010 every entry on 
the Consolidated List at the time of the adoption of UNSCR 
1822 (June 2008) to ensure that each entry on the 
list remains appropriate and is as accurate as possible. 
Furthermore, at the completion of this comprehensive review, 
the committee going forward now must review on an annual 
basis each entry that has not been reviewed in three or more 
years. 
 
¶4. (U) The entire text of UNSCR 1822 can be reviewed in 
reftel, or easily accessed on-line via the UN 1267 Committee 
website, located at 
http://www.un.org/sc/committees/1267/index.sh tml.  For ease 
of reference, however, text of paragraph 25, which mandates 
the committee comprehensively review each entry on the 
sanctions list at the time of adoption of resolution 1822, is: 
 
"25. (The Security Council...) "Directs the Committee to 
conduct a review of all names on the Consolidated List at the 
date of adoption of this resolution by June 30, 2010 in which 
the relevant names are circulated to the designating states 
and states of residence and/or citizenship, where known, 
pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Committee 
guidelines, in order to ensure the Consolidated List is as 
updated and accurate as possible and to confirm that listing 
remains appropriate;" 
 
-------------- 
ACTION REQUEST 
 
STATE 00109494  003.2 OF 011 
 
¶5. (U) All Action Addressees are requested to share as soon 
as possible at the highest appropriate level the results of 
our review pursuant to paragraph 25 of UNSCR 1822 for the 
third tranche of names circulated by the UN 1267 Committee 
Chairman.  Inform 
partner nations that the USG views each case as unique, and 
that we consider a variety of factors in reaching a decision 
on whether to support maintaining a listing or to support 
delisting, including the nature of activities that led to the 
original listing, the adequacy of identifiers, the 
credibility of any information reporting the listed person,s 
death, and the nature of any additional reporting that 
becomes available on a listed individual or entity 
following that individual's/entity's listing.  Action 
addressees are further requested to inform partner nations 
that: 
 
¶6. (U) On May 29, 2009, the UN 1267 Committee chair 
circulated the third tranche of names to be reviewed by the 
committee.  In tranche 3, out of a total of 129 names, the 
USG was responsible for reviewing the 83 names (49 
individuals and 34 entities) for which it had sponsored or 
co-sponsored the listing. The USG has reviewed these 83 names 
pursuant to the factors outlined above, and is considering 
sponsoring or co-sponsoring the delisting of 29 names (24 
individuals, 5 entities) pending further consultation with 
the other co-sponsoring Member States, from this tranche: 
 
¶1. KHALAYLEH, Ahmad Fadil Nazal (UN Permanent Reference 
Number I.A.131.03). - Reportedly deceased as of 2006; 
however, the USG supports the maintaining the listing of the

¶2.  NADA INTERNATIONAL ANSTALT (UN Permanent Reference Number

of all available information, the USG has determined that it 
currently lacks information sufficient to conclude that NADA 
INTERNATIONAL ANSTALT continues to engage in the activities 
for which it was originally listed or other activities that 
would provide a basis for continued listing.  Absent 
additional derogatory information from other Member States, 
the USG is considering supporting the removal of NADA 
INTERNATIONAL ANSTALT from the UNSCR 1267 Consolidated List. 
The USG reserves the option to resubmit it for listing should 
new information be found indicating that it continues to 
engage in the activities for which it was originally listed 
or in new activities that would justify listing. 
 
¶3.  BA TAQWA FOR COMMERCE AND REAL ESTATE COMPANY LTD (UN 
Permanent Reference Number QE.B.76.02) - After careful and 
detailed review and analysis of all available information, 
the USG has determined that it currently lacks information

operational capability of this group.  The Russian government 
has declared vehemently that this group does not exist; 
however, they have claimed responsibility for multiple 
incidents over the past couple of years, and some as recently 
as August. Regardless, any link to al-Qa,ida is unlikely at 
this point. 
 
¶7. (SBU) The BARAKAAT NETWORK: Posts should inform their Host 
Governments that the while the USG supports the removal of 
any verifiably defunct Barakaat entities, it does not support 
the removal of the entire organization and will consider the 
merits of removing each entity on a case-by-case basis. Posts 
should inform Host Governments that we support ongoing 
listing of the Barakaat Network based upon the networks 
association with UN 1267-listed Ali Jimale Ahmed, whose 
continued listing we support. 
 
¶8. (SBU) Embassy Rome: In addition to sharing the information 
in paragraphs 5-7, Embassy Rome should inform the GOI that 
after reviewing the names (listed below) co-sponsored by the 
GOI and supported by the U.S., the USG does not have any

additional information to support retaining the listing of a 
number of these names.  Embassy Rome should request the GOI 
for its views on each of the names (below) submitted by the 
GOI and ask whether the GOI will recommend retaining them on 
or removing them from the Consolidated List.  If the GOI 
plans to recommend retaining these names on the Consolidated 
List, Embassy Rome should ask the GOI to provide any 
additional information it can share with the USG. Embassy 
Rome should inform the GOI that the USG would like to be in a 
position to support the GOI's position but should underscore 
to the GOI that absent additional information from the GOI, 
the USG is currently considering submitting these names to 
the Committee for removal from the Consolidated List.  We 
would like to work with the GOI to address any differences in 
views on any of the names and welcome any additional 
information pertinent to the review of these 1267 listings 
that host government officials wish to provide. Embassy Rome 
should emphasize that we have a limited period of time in 
which to resolve any differences regarding the names and 
should request that the GOI inform the USG of its views on 
the names as soon as possible but request that it be no later 
than two weeks from receipt of this demarche: number 2-Nada

¶9. (SBU) Embassy Moscow: In addition to sharing the 
information in paragraphs 5-7, Embassy Moscow should take 
this opportunity to encourage the Government of Russia (GOR) 
to provide or update bio-identifiers for the 39 Taliban names 
it is reviewing in tranche 3, either as the designating state 
(for 16 Taliban individuals) or co-sponsor (for 23 Taliban 
individuals), and to provide as much information as possible 
to support maintenance of those names on the 1267 
Consolidated List, or -- absent such information -- to 
support de-listing. Embassy Moscow should underscore to the 
GOR that most of these listings lack any information on the 
listed person's activities since 2001, and the absence of 
adequate bio-identifiers for the vast majority of the Taliban 
names on the Consolidated List makes implementation of 
sanctions against these individuals virtually impossible. 
Without additional updates and bio-identifiers, our view is 
that many of these entries should be de-listed. Maintaining
