Activity:
The team met with S ecial Court for Sierra Leone  SCSLj I02/09/2004. ilprovided access to an SCSL protected witness, symbol number
The team interviewed with pertinent results, see the attached report.Subsequent to this intewiew  the team with documents related to the
investigation in Monrovia, Liberia, about which he had been interviewed on O2/O8/2004. These
documents, in conjunction with the results of his interview, are documented in the attached
report.
dvised the team it would again not be able to intewie  as it was D
now the rule of the SCSL that no detainees could be interviewed without the pennission of their
defense counsel. According to|:|his counsel could not be reached, but was due to arrive
in Freetown on the evening of 02/16/2004. It is|:|be1ief it is unlikel efense
will allow an interview, although it is possible. -
The team continues to maintain a dialog with Amembassy Monrovia to facilitate the
teams travel there. The team is in receipt of the fund site information, much appreciated.
Country clearance has been received from Amembassy Monrovia, and RSO Monrovia has
advised he will have a vehicle to meet the team upon their arrival on 02/10/2004. .
The team received a phone call from SA BI WFO, regarding the
cable mentioned in the previous 02/O9/2004 sitrep. S advised that, while she had not
seen the cable, she was in the process of closing the case and did not want the team to attempt to
cover the lead information provided in the cable. Therefore, the team will not conduct this A
investigation.
Intent: ~
The team, minus [win travel to Monrovia on 02/10/2004 as
described in the previous 02/09/2004 sitrep. The team will make all appropriate contacts once it
has arrived at Amembassy Monrovia.
I Iwill remain in Freetown and attempt to contact|:|
defense counsel in order to request permission to interview him. If permission is granted, an
interview will be arranged as soon as possible, and may be accomplished by the Monrovian
element upon their return to Freetown. If the defense counsel cannot be reached, the team does
not intend to extend in Freetown for the counsels arrival. Not only does SCSL staff not believe
permission for such an interview will be granted, the teams investigation to date makes it
unlikely that an interview|:| would be fruitful in any case. &#39;

any such confusion does not interfere with domestic connection. For clarity,l itinerary is resent below: - &#39;

had conducted investi ations related to the SCSLs mandate. In the course of theseinvestigations,|i|had interviewed several members of the staff of the Royal Hotel in
Monrovia. This hotel was formerly known as the Hotel Boulevard, and was a known hangout for

interviews, dis la ed a page of photos of the Top 22 Terrorists taken from the FBI web
site. According to all parties interviewed identiedl I
I las individuals who had spent time in thehotel. A report on this contact will follow under separate cover pendin provision of
documents in his possession relating to his investigation in Monrovia. &#39; strongly
advocated the teams travel to Monrovia, claiming everything was in Monrovia, and that if the
team chose not to travel to Monrovia, it would not be doing its job.

in Monrovia: r .
1! /i Interviewing the staff at the Royal Hotel  formerly Hotel Boulveard!;
Interviews at the Liberian Anti-Terrorist Unit  ATU! HQ in Batala  phonetic!, Liberia.
These potential interviews are based on information that the individuals identified by
the Royal Hotel staff as| Imay have traveled to the ATU
HQ. Before the team conducts any investigation into this matter, the lead information
will be confirmed and more specics gamered. RSO Monrovia will then be consulted
on the feasibility of travel to, and interviews in, the ATU compound; and,To locate and interview? Iif possible.|:|is
described as he CHARLES YL e TA OR r gime who leased a
Boeing 737 aircraft for TAYLOR to use as his presidential aircraft. |:|is

number of Lebanese diamond traders into and out of Monrovia. At this time, even
