    IDENTIFICATION TRAINING, DUBAI, 10-13 JAN 2010

    Classified By: Jerry Guilbert for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d)

    ¶1. (U) The Department of Energy,s (DOE) International
    Nonproliferation Export Control Program (INECP), through
    funding provided by the Department of State,s Export Control
    and Related Border Security Assistance (EXBS) Program,
    conducted Commodity Identification Training (CIT) for Dubai
    Customs, Jan 10 ) 13, 2010.  CIT teaches customs agents to
    recognize WMD-related dual-use items, and this event marked
    the first time INECP had delivered any type of training in
    the Unite Arab Emirates (UAE).

    ¶2. (U) The INECP team consisted of Chris Walker (DOE HQ);
    Heidi Mahy and Kevin Whattam (Pacific Northwest National
    Laboratory); Basil Picologlou (Argonne National Laboratory);
    and Kirk Walker (Kansas City Plant).  Lisa Meyers (DOS/Office
    of Counterproliferation Initiatives) and Tyler Hoffmann (EXBS
    Advisor for the Middle East) also attended.  The Dubai office
    of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement provided
    organizational support and attended the course.

    ¶3. (U) The course began with brief overviews of Weapons and
    Mass Destruction and delivery systems (missiles), which
    occupied most of the workshop,s first day.  The remaining
    three days consisted of about three dozen modules covering a
    range of controlled goods, including machine tools,
    gyroscopes, (precursor) chemicals, and many others.  The
    course also featured several practical exercises and
    &games8 to test the participants, grasp of the material.
    Unsurprisingly, the attendees were not particularly lively
    during the overview presentations, but they showed strong
    interest in the commodity presentations and especially the
    exercises.  Dubai Customs brought an x-ray van to the course,
    allowing both instructors and participants to see how some
    controlled goods (that is, the ones INECP brought along as
    teaching aids) look when x-rayed, probably the part of the
    course that generated the most interest and excitement.  This
    was the first time any Customs agency had provided an X-ray
    van at a CIT seminar.

    ¶4. (U) Attendance on the part of Dubai Customs varied from
    about 15 participants on the first day to around 20 or so for
    most of Days 2 through 4, plus a few individuals from the
    training division responsible for organizing the event.  Most
    of the attendees work in Port Rashid, but there were also
    attendees from the Jebel Ali, Cargo Village, UAE-Oman border
    crossing, and two  representatives from Dubai Customs, WMD
    division.  Mr. Mohammed Foolad, the Dubai Custom,s Manager
    for Non-proliferation of WMD, was the senior-most person in
    attendance and had a good working knowledge about WMD related
    dual-use items from his work.  He leads a special unit of
    five individuals (one of whom attended the course with him).
    He  requested extra copies of the printed course materials
    and electronic versions of all the Arab-language materials,
    which the team provided to him.

    ¶5. (U) Overall, the level of interest was quite good.  The
    audience was fairly participatory, and showed a great deal of
    energy in particular while x-raying the goods and during a
    wrap-up exercise, in which groups of participants identify
    pictures of goods from the course.  Multiple participants
    stated that cooperation should continue in the future; time
    will tell if the sentiment was genuine.

    ¶6. (S)  In a side conversation between Mr. Foolad and Ms.
    Meyers, he noted that his job is to coordinate WMD- related
    cases.  He works closely with the Dubai General Directorate
    of State Security on sensitive issues.  When asked about the
    Export Control office, he noted that he works with them, but
    that they are new to this issue, while Dubai Customs has been
    working on this issue for years.  He noted that the UAE was
    developing a computer system that will allow Emirate- level
    customs offices to communicate with each other.

    ¶7. (S//NF) CONTD: On targeting, Mr. Foolad noted that Dubai
    Customs is stopping WMD related cargo on their own (without
    information from foreign governments) using their targeting
    methods.  They currently use the control lists of the various
    regimes to target controlled goods, as well as information
    provided by the United States, Germany, and others to target
    end users.  They have a handbook created by Dubai Customs to
    help their officers physically identify WMD related dual-use
    goods, but noted they have had difficulty finding pictures of
    certain Wassenaar military- related items.  He described a
    case of glass fiber stopped on its way from the Netherlands
    to Iran, as well as some 7075 aluminum.  He noted that they
    really need more information on who the suspect end users
    are, as they could use this information to help them better
    target WMD end users.  He mentioned that they routinely find
    that the same phone numbers are associated with different
    companies.
    ¶8.  (S//NF) CONTD: Mr. Foolad explained the serious problems
    they are facing at their Cargo Village facility, which is
    where they handle air cargo shipments.  He noted that they
    have to look at over 9,000 shipments a month going to one
    country of concern (i.e., Iran).  He noted how difficult this
    is due to the quick time frame, but how necessary given the
    sensitivity.  NOTE:  Mr. Foolad seemed to take the course,
    and moreover his responsibilities leading the WMD unit, very
    seriously.
