  • 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.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #07ROME1889.

Special Envoy to Somalia, to travel to Italy September 09-11, 
2007 to attend the Somalia International Conflict Contact 
Group meeting.

UNCLASS E-MAIL:  DeutschCM@STATE.GOV

TEL:  (39) 06-4674-2327 
FAX:  (39) 06-4674-2623 
MOBILE:  (39) 335-738-6752 
 
3.  Reservations have been made at the Hotel Royal Splendide, 
via di Porta Pinciana, No. 14; telephone 39-06-421-689.  The 
room rate is 245 euros per night, including breakfast and 
taxes. 
 
4.  GENERAL INFORMATION ON ROME AND ITALY 
 
--  The Embassy switchboard number is (39) 06-4674-1, 
and is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 
 
-- Nextell world cell phones generally work in Italy, 
but post recommends checking with the provider prior 
to departure.  In Italy, callers must dial 00 plus country 
code (1 for the U.S.) to make international calls.  The 
country code for Italy is 39. 
 
-- Calling within Italy:  To call from one city to the 
next, dial the city code (06 for Rome; 02 for Milan) plus the 
number. 
To dial any cell number in Italy, dial the number without 
the city code. 
 
-- Money exchange:  The unit of currency throughout Italy 
is the Euro.  Dollars or travelers checks can be legally 
exchanged for Euros at local exchange offices, hotels and 
the airport.  Most major credit cards are accepted throughout 
Italy.  ATM machines will accept many U.S. bank cards. 
 
5.  Security/Threat Assessment 
 
Due to many factors, including the ongoing global war on 
terrorism, American diplomatic facilities in Italy operate 
under a state of heightened security. 
 
The Department of State remains concerned about the 
continued threat of terrorist attacks, demonstrations 
and other violent actions against U.S. citizens and 
interests overseas. 
 
The July 2005 bombings in London have resulted in 
additional attention to security.  Travelers should 
continue to monitor public announcements regarding 
worldwide caution.  There have been several high-profile 
arrests in Italy of alleged terrorists with links to 
Al-Qaeda.  Several groups including the Red Brigades, 
who flourished in Italy during the late seventies and 
early eighties, and later the Autonomists, have 
claimed responsibility for violent crimes in the past. 
Members are mostly radical students and disruptive youths. 
 
Workers' strikes can also affect transportation, and are 
sometimes called with as little as 24 hours notice. 
These strikes often result in the cancellation of 
local airline flights, and disruptions in local train, 
bus and metro operations.  The U.S. Embassy advises 
citizens traveling or residing in Italy to avoid areas 
in which crowds are expected to gather, take common sense 
precautions, and follow news reports carefully.  Italy 
continues to be under heightened public threat by al-Qaida 
and other Isalmic extremists for its continued participation 
in Iraq and Afghanistan, which may increase the potential 
for terrorist activity. 
 
We monitor the security environment closely and issue 
updated assessments, as warranted.  Travelers should 
maintain a low profile; stay alert for unusual activity, 
for example surveillance; and avoid repetitious patterns 
and habits, i.e., vary routes and times of departures and 
arrivals.  Visitors to U.S. diplomatic and military 
facilities should be aware that increased security 
measures are in effect at these locations.  While there 
is presently no information available that indicates 
targeting of a specific individual, all visitors and 
resident USG personnel are encouraged to maintain a 
heightened state of security awareness.  Unusual or 
 
suspicious incidents should be reported immediately 
to the RSO. 
 
Street crime occurs frequently, especially in large cities 
and at tourist locations.  Visitors are warned to safeguard 
their valuables at all times, especially while walking 
along streets and when using public transportation. 
Extra care should be taken while in crowded tourist areas. 
Pickpockets usually work in teams and target tourists. 
Traveling on the Autostrada throughout Italy can be 
hazardous.  Rest stops are often hangouts for thieves. 
 
For the latest security information, U.S. citizens 
traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department 
of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs internet web site at 
http://www.travel.state.gov.  The "Worldwide Caution" 
Public Announcement, dated October 11, 2006, is 
available on that web site.  The Consular Information 
Sheet provides additional general information on safety 
and security in italy. 
 
In addition to information on the Internet, travelers 
may obtain up-todate information on security conditions 
by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the U.S. or 
outside the U.S, on a regular toll line at 1-202-510-4444.

6.  FISCAL DATA.  In accordance with Department of State 
policy, post will directly charge each agency, organization 
or visiting delegation for the actual costs attributed to its 
visit.  These costs include, but are not limited to American 
and Locally Engaged staff overtime; field travel by Embassy 
employee; transportation costs for official vehicles; rental 
of vehicles, cellular phones, and office equipment; charges 
for control rooms and office space; and the cost for 
representational events.  All visitors requesting 
administrative support services must provide the Embassy with 
authorization and fiscal data (e.g. travel orders) against 
which the costs for requested items can be charged.  This 
information should be cabled or faxed to the Embassy in 
advance of your arrival.  Without a fund cite and 
authorization, post will not be able to provide vehicles, 
drivers, or other services.
