    E.O. 12958: DECL: 01/26/2017
    TAGS: PTER PREL INTERPOL KJUS TS AG MO RW
    SUBJECT: C/T JUDGE ON FRANCE, RWANDA, PAKISTAN, AND HIS
    POLITICAL FUTURE

    REF: PARIS 186

    Classified By: POLITICAL MINISTER COUNSELOR JOSIAH ROSENBLATT FOR REASO
    NS 1.4 (B) AND (D)

    ¶1. (S) SUMMARY: France,s chief counterterrorism judge,
    Jean-Louis Bruguiere, told us on January 19 that a recent
    surge in overall GSPC activities worried French
    counterterrorism officials, who are convinced there is now a
    significantly higher threat against France and its interests
    abroad. Tunisian security services, he said, had essentially
    shut the French out, preferring to deny the existence of a
    threat. Morocco was cooperative, while Algeria remained hot
    and cold, or "as usual."

    ¶2. (S) Summary continued: Operational relations between
    France and the U.S. were excellent, Bruguiere said. He also
    praised DNI John Negroponte,s comments on Pakistan, adding
    that President Musharraf did not exercise control over all of
    Pakistan and that this country posed the most immediate
    threat to global security. He confirmed that he had
    conferred with GoF officials, including President Chirac, on
    the timing and fallout of his issuance of arrest warrants
    against top Kigame aides and warned against better U.S.
    relations with Rwanda. Bruguiere also confirmed rumors that
    he will likely be leaving the top terrorism court to pursue
    political ambitions. END SUMMARY

    GSPC THREAT AND THE MAGHREB
    ---------------------------

    ¶3. (S) France,s chief counterterrorism judge, Jean-Louis
    Bruguiere, told us on January 19 that he found an apparent
    escalation in GSPC activities in the Maghreb during the past
    several months particularly worrisome. France, he said, was
    at a higher state of alert and would likely remain so for the
    foreseeable future. While there was no specific threat
    information, he said the GoF was convinced that cells and
    supporters were prepared to be active in France and Europe.
    The dismantling of at least two, relatively major, Islamic
    cells on French territory every year showed a clear and
    present threat. Information exchange with Tunisia, he said,
    was now virtually non-existent. The Tunisian government was
    either in denial or did not know how to proceed and was
    shutting out the French. Morocco continues to be relatively
    reliable with information, with Algeria as, "as usual,"
    excellent on some days and like Tunisia on others. (COMMENT:
    Bruguiere,s characterization of operational cooperation with
    the Maghreb is worse than other C/T contacts have previously
    reported. Bruguiere,s observations, therefore, may or may
    not apply to all of the French intelligence services. End
    Comment)

    U.S./FRANCE COOPERATION
    -----------------------

    ¶4. (S) Bruguiere commented that U.S./France judicial and
    operational exchanges remained excellent. He said that while
    France,s legal system gave him much more discretion than the
    U.S. system, our ability to work together was not hindered by
    this; we had to be creative. (Note: Bruguiere was an expert
    witness in the successful prosecution of Ahmed Ressam in the
    famed L.A. trial, the U.S. vs. Ahmed Ressam).

    PAKISTAN
    --------

    ¶5. (S) The judge praised DNI John Negroponte,s comments on
    Pakistan during a recent Congressional intelligence briefing.
    He said he was convinced that Pakistan posed the single
    greatest threat to global security. President Musharaf, he
    noted, lacked real control over both the territory of the
    country and security and military agencies. Rogue elements
    from Pakistan, he insisted, were the most likely to provide
    nuclear weapons and safe-haven to terrorists.

    RWANDA
    ------

    ¶6. (S) Bruguiere confirmed that he had consulted within the
    GoF on his issuance of arrest warrants in the cases brought

    PARIS 00000322 002 OF 002

    against nine of President Kagame,s top aides for
    assassination of President Habyarimana and three French
    aircraft crew (see reftel A). He said he presented his
    decision to French officials, including President Chirac, as
    his independent judicial right, but chose to consult with
    them because he was convinced of the need to coordinate
    timing with the government. Bruguiere said he was not
    surprised by Rwanda,s official reaction, and said that the
    GoF had prepared for what it thought would be a violent
    response against French nationals. He praised his own
    decision to move forward, adding that the international
    community had a certain moral responsibility, and that his
    actions were in the pursuit of justice. Bruguiere was
    satisfied that the nine individuals he listed could not leave
    Rwanda without fear of arrest, but was doubtful the ICTR
    would take up the case. (COMMENT: Bruguiere,s presented his
    case in a very professional manner, but he did not hide his
    personal desire to see Kagame,s government isolated. He
    warned that closer U.S. ties with Rwanda would be a mistake.
    END COMMENT)

    BRUGUIERE MOVING ON?
    --------------------

    ¶7. (C) Since 1982 Bruguiere has been one of the leading
    players in the French fight against terrorism, and he is
    considered a leading world expert in terrorism. He has been
    the chief of the French counterterrorism court, created in
    1986, since its inception. He has survived at least one
    direct assassination attempt, and is the most visible
    counterterrorism figure in France. Bruguiere,s ambitions
    have now turned to the political, however. He told us that
    he is likely to run for a parliamentary seat later this year.
    Bruguiere also casually mentioned that a cabinet post
    (Minister of Justice) would be his first choice. His
    departure will be a loss to the court, but it has become a
    solid institution under his tutelage and it,s clear that
    Bruguiere intends to stay an active part of the C/T community.
