    Classified By: CDA Alan Misenheimer for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d)

    ¶1. (C) Summary: The reaction by the Kuwaiti media and GOK
    to the January 16 UN Security Council designation of three
    Kuwaitis -- Hamed Al-Ali, Jaber Al-Jalahmah and Mubarak
    Al-Bathali-- as terrorist facilitators and inciters has
    remained relatively subdued with the exception of defiant
    statements from the designees (Ref D) and now statements by
    Kuwaiti Members of Parliament (MP) Dr. Walid Al-Tabtaba'i,
    Khudair Al-Enezi and Abdullah Akash. Their comments appeared
    in the January 20 internet version of the Arabic-language
    newspaper Al-Rai Al-Amm and on January 30 in the
    Arabic-language newspapers Al-Qabas and Al-Wasat. The MPs
    criticize "the terrorist policy of the US" and condemn the
    addition of the three Kuwaitis to the blacklist of terrorist
    financiers by the UNSC. Two of the designees, Al-Ali and
    Al-Bathali continue to blast the airwaves with interviews,
    claiming their innocence and criticizing U.S. policy and the
    UNSC decisions to designate them. The three vocal MPs are
    all Islamists and are regular grandstanders in criticizing
    U.S. policy on a host of regional issues. End Summary.

    ¶2. (U) In an interview appearing January 20 in the
    Arabic-language newspaper Al-Rai Al-Amm, titled
    "Al-Tabtaba'i Asks the Government to Object to the
    International Resolution Against Three Kuwaitis," Dr. Walid
    Al-Tabtaba'i, MP, informed Al-Rai of his intentions to
    discuss the UNSC resolution with Minister of Foreign Affairs
    Shaykh Dr. Mohammad Al Sabah. Al-Tabtaba'i told Al-Rai that
    the government must object to the "unjust and unfounded
    resolution," and pointed out that it is unacceptable to
    accuse people without irrefutable proof. MP Akash accused
    the U.S. of engaging in terrorism through its accusation of
    innocent people without possessing irrefutable proof to
    condemn them, stating, "America practices terrorism against
    whoever disagrees with her, although she is the source of
    terrorism." He added that he would submit a question to the
    Foreign Minister concerning the resolution and would inquire
    about the role that the government played in confronting such
    an "unjust" resolution, which is not based on any legal
    proof. He criticized the "terrorist policy of the U.S.,"
    calling for the government to confront the accusations it
    spreads against Muslims without any justification or proof.
    In an article appearing January 30 in the Arabic-language
    newspapers Al-Qabas and Al-Wasat, MP Khudair Al-Enezi
    condemned the addition of the names of the three Kuwaitis to
    the list of terrorist financiers by the UNSC and called on
    the GOK to exert more efforts to have their names removed.
    Al-Enezi stated, "It appears that all those who declare an
    opinion against the U.S., which is totally biased in favor of
    the Zionist entity (Israel), will be considered a terrorist
    and based on this, the Security Council should then list the
    names of all Arab and Muslim peoples to the blacklist." He
    also praised the three men, saying that they played no role
    in activities that breach the country's laws or encourage
    terrorism.

    ¶3. (SBU) There has been no lull in the objections by
    terrorist facilitators Al-Ali and Al-Bathali. In a January
    28 interview appearing in the Arabic-language newspaper
    Al-Wasat, Al-Ali claimed he was unfairly designated and that
    the U.S. Treasury used false information regarding his
    alleged involvement in terrorist financing. In a January 27
    article appearing in the Arabic-language newspaper Al-Rai,
    Al-Bathali opens with a message to the UNSC, claiming that
    all reports they received were lies. Following are excerpts
    from Post's unofficial translation:

    (Begin Text)

    Q: What would you like us to start with?

    A: I would like to send a message to Richard Birth (sic),
    UNSC Coordinator, to say that all reports you received are
    lies. I have not been to Saudi Arabia for over five years.
    My last visit to Saudi Arabia was in February 2003. From
    where did you get these reports?

    Q: Did you violate Saudi security?
    A: No, I went for the Omrah (minor pilgrimage). They said
    that I met with leaders in Saudi and coordinated with them,

    Kuwait 00000128 002 of 003

    but this is false.

    Q: You mean with the outlaws in Saudi?
    A: Yes, Al-Qaeda. I was in jail after the Omrah for six
    months, but I did not meet anybody. I did not have money and
    I did not hand over money to anybody. They took me directly
    from the Jeddah Airport to jail. With whom then did I meet?
    These reports are lies and I do not want the UNSC Coordinator
    to be like a puppet following the instructions of other
    countries or certain people.

    Q: Have the sanctions affected you?
    A: Yes, I have been gone without a salary for 11 months and
    the GOK is not helping me. I need my salary. It is not an
    asset to freeze. They have no right to freeze it. It is for
    me and my children. I cannot get money without working.

    Q: Are you still working?
    A: Yes, at Kuwait Municipality.

    Q: Is your salary being transferred to the Bank?
    A: Yes, Kuwait Finance House. But, my account is frozen.

    Q: Since you are in debt, does the "Jihad movement" pay you?
    A: No one pays me. I am like the Gaza Strip in Kuwait.

    Q: But you do not deny you participated in Jihad in Bosnia?
    A: Yes, and I was honored. Jihad is mandatory for all
    Muslims.

    Q: The UNSC does not believe in that.
    A: We follow God's law. We have nothing to do with the UNSC
    or international law.

    Q: You do not think you did anything against the law?
    A: I did nothing against the law.

    Q: You did not go to Afghanistan?
    A: No, I did not go there.

    Q: What about Iraq?
    A: No.

    Q: In Bosnia, Muslims were being killed and you believe
    there was a reason to defend them?
    A: Also in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Q: What about Palestine?
    A: Jihadis were there since Abdulla Azzam. But, Palestine
    is being guarded very strictly and no one can penetrate it.

    Q: Who are these guards?
    A: Neighboring countries. Now Egypt has opened its borders,
    I hope they can manage to penetrate.

    Q: Does Islam call for a truce like what happened with
    Saladin?
    A: Saladin made a truce while he was in power.

    Q: Who won in Lebanon in 2006?
    A: It was the resistance, Jihadis, Hizbullah, and Sunnis
    with them. There is a battalion of Sunnis and Druze and even
    Christians. All together.

    Q: This has never been published or shown through the media.
    A: We have nothing to do with the media. But it is well
    known. Why did that Army surround Naher al-Barid Refugee
    Camp? Why did they not fight Israel?

    Q: They say that you went to Kosovo?
    A: Yes, I was the only Kuwaiti there. We should help our
    Muslim brothers everywhere. The time that Iraq invaded our
    country we asked the whole world to help us. Why is it
    strange now to help each other?

    Q: Many people think that you are dragging the youth into
    trouble without reason.
    A: We see victory so close. The Americans are in trouble in
    Iraq. They are in a quagmire. Is that not a victory?

    Q: You think the West is screaming in Afghanistan?
    A: Yes I do.

    Q: Is it true that Al-Qaeda's activity has been limited
    there?
    A: American military leaders say that Afghanistan is a
    difficult situation. This means it is a victory. Al-Qaeda's
    recruitment is growing. In every house there is someone who

    Kuwait 00000128 003 of 003

    supports Al-Qaeda.

    Q: Where are they?
    A: Everywhere, in Kuwait and other countries. Is that not a
    victory?

    Q: Victory comes by making a truce and peace.
    A: The one in power does not make a truce or peace with the
    feeble. Shall we let them go on attacking the Muslims?

    Q: If this is your position, why do you find it strange that
    they punish you?
    A: We are talking about my salary, my earnings, my food and
    drink. My monthly salary is KD 300 (USD 1100), does that
    defeat America in Iraq? They paid USD 400 billion in Iraq!

    Q: I meant do you expect them to show you mercy?
    A: Kuwait is an independent country and has sovereignty

    Q: Would you like to say anything else?
    A: I hope they intervene to unfreeze my salary before I find
    myself forced to go according to Hadith (prophetic
    tradition); whoever dies defending his honor or money, he is
    a martyr. Please do not force me to do so. I tried my best
    to get back my salary, but without success.

    Comment
    --------

    ¶4. (C) The three designees continue to try to use the media
    -- with limited success -- to gain sympathetic advantage with
    the Kuwaiti audience and to try to exploit their roles as
    "victims" of the USG war on terror. We have also noticed a
    degree of discomfort with the designations within the MFA:

    --xxxxxxxxxxxx
    glossed over the TF charges against the three and showed more
    concern over the financial plight of the families of the
    designees (ref E).

    --xxxxxxxxxxxx was indignant that three Kuwaitis would be
    targeted in such a manner, and was convinced that there was
    not enough evidence to support the UN's claims (ref B).

    ¶5. (C)xxxxxxxxxxxx (who plays a largely behind the scenes role in the
    Kuwaiti political scene), told poloff that these three
    individuals are guilty of TF and deserve the imposition of
    sanctions. He added, though, that the GOK does "not know
    how" to proceed with the UNSCR 1267 sanction mandates and is
    secretly content to allow the negative attention on the USG

    Sipdis
    to continue while it sorts out the Kuwaiti role and
    responsibility in the matter. We are continuing to press the
    GOK for strict adherence to their international obligations
    and will report results septel.
