1. (S//NF) Summary: In response to a U.S. request, the
Government of Morocco (GOM) recently provided detailed
information, via diplomatic note to Embassy Rabat, on the
backgrounds of two Moroccan citizens currently being held in
the U.S. detention in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In the note, the
GOM expresses its strong interest in seeing the two
individuals turned over to Morocco. Judging from Morocco's
track record and the tone of this correspondence, Embassy
Rabat believes that if the individuals are turned over to the
Moroccan authorities, the GOM would prosecute these
individuals to the full extent of Moroccan law. Judging
from the considerable amount of derogatory information
provided on both individuals, the GOM appears to have the
basis for strong criminal cases against both individuals.
