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.

REF: PORT LOUIS 101 
 
1. (SBU) On April 6, Post received by fax a diplomatic note dated 
April 2 from the Seychelles' Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) 
stating that the vessel "Indian Ocean Explorer" had been captured 
with a crew of seven Seychellois nationals in Seychelles' 
territorial waters, and was heading toward the Somali coast.  The 
note asked the USG to "intercept and thwart" this act of piracy.  It 
called attention to a similar incident, involving three Seychellois 
nationals captured and detained by Somali pirates, mentioned in a 
previous diplomatic note dated March 27.
