If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • 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.

SUBJECT: GERMANY - STATUS OF NUCLEAR TERRORISM CONVENTION 
 
REF: STATE 102149 
 
(SBU) Germany was one of the first countries to sign the 
International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of 
Nuclear Terrorism, on September 15, 2005.  According to MFA 
counterterrorism desk officer Anke Reiffenstuehl, the 
Bundestag (lower house of the German federal parliament) 
passed ratification legislation and implementing legislation 
on July 5, 2007.  Both measures now move to the Bundesrat 
(parliament's upper house) for consideration in September. 
German officials hope to deposit the instrument of 
ratification by the end of 2007.  Reiffenstuehl noted Germany 
has already ratified the other 12 UN counterterrorism 
conventions.
