MADRID 611 B. MADRID 312 C. MADRID 007 Classified By: Ambassador Eduardo Aguirre, Jr. for Reasons 1.4 (b) and (d) 1. (C) Spanish Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba phoned the Ambassador on June 6 to say that the Council of Ministers had just approved the extradition to the U.S. of notorious Syrian arms trafficker Monzer Al-Kassar. Further to REFTELS, today's action by the Council was the final political decision we had been awaiting since Al-Kassar was taken into Spanish custody almost one year ago today (June 7, 2007), and is a tribute to the work of several members of the Mission Country Team and Washington interagency. 2. (C) We will remain in close contact with Spanish authorities to ensure that the transfer is made as quickly and as securely as possible. Our understanding is that the Council of Ministers will now issue a formal order to the National Court (Audiencia Nacional) to authorize the transfer of Al-Kassar. This will likely happen on Monday or Tuesday June 9-10. Madrid DEA Country Attache spoke today with Interpol representatives in Spain, who set Thursday June 12 as the target date for Al-Kassar to be handed over to the U.S. Today's Council of Ministers decision is a great victory and the definitive step towards ensuring that this alleged terrorist faces justice in the U.S. Aguirre |
