    SUBJECT: REYKJAVIK SEPQ RESPONSE - SPRING 2009

    REF: STATE 13023

    Classified By: RSO JON MOODY FOR REASONS 1.4 (C) AND (D)

    ------------------
    POLITICAL VIOLENCE
    ------------------

    ¶I.  (C) Demonstrations

    ¶A.  (C) There is a religious community of Muslims, some of
    whom might harbor anti-American sentiments.  The community
    numbers approximately 800 individuals and is comprised mostly
    of European Muslims.  In the past 12 months there have been
    no known anti-American demonstrations led by the Muslim
    community.

    i.  (SBU) Yes, there have been two anti-American
    demonstrations in the past 12 months.

    ii.  (SBU) Both demonstrations occurred in front of the
    Chancery and CMR.  (NOTE: The Chancery and CMR are co-located
    at 21 and 23 Laufasvegur. END NOTE)

    iii.  (SBU) One demonstration drew 30-40 protesters.
    Approximately 400 demonstrators participated in the second
    demonstration.

    iv.  (SBU) The two anti-American protests in this SEPQ period
    occurred in December 2008 and January 2009.  Both were
    related to Israeli military action in Gaza.

    ¶B.  (SBU) Demonstrations are generally peaceful.

    i.  (SBU) There have been no violent demonstrations resulting
    in damage or loss of USG property.

    ii.  (SBU) No demonstrations have penetrated our perimeter
    security.

    ¶C.  (SBU) There has been a dramatic increase in
    demonstrations against the Icelandic government since Post's
    last SEPQ response.  The primary cause is the current
    domestic economic crisis.  Demonstrations have also been
    organized to protest military action, environmental issues,
    salary/benefit disputes, soaring gas prices, and a NATO
    conference.

    i.  (SBU) The majority of demonstrations occur in front of
    the Prime Minister's office (approximately 700 meters from
    the Embassy) and the Althingi Parliament Building
    (approximately 550 meters from the Embassy).  Since Post,s
    last SEPQ response there have been approximately 57
    demonstrations against the Government of Iceland.   Most were
    peaceful, some were heated, and a small number of protesters
    were arrested.  Several police officers were injured by
    throwing rocks, none seriously.

    ii.  (SBU) The anti-government protests were huge compared to
    previously seen protests.  Since October Saturday
    demonstrations have drawn between 3000-4000 participants.
    The largest gathering was estimated at 10000 demonstrators
    (approximately 3 percent of Iceland's population).
    Non-economic protests were usually drew 30-50 persons (one
    protest had 1 participant - an anti-NATO demonstrator man
    banging a gong outside the Hilton.  He was issued a traffic
    citation for parking illegally.)

    iii.  (C) All demonstrations have been peaceful, to date.
    The protests regarding the economic crisis have occasionally
    become heated resulting in minor injuries and  arrests.  None
    got out of hand and most of the damage and injuries were
    caused by a small group of miscreants well-known to the
    police and rumored to be in a  turf war, with the police.

    iv.  (SBU) No demonstrations have resulted in damage to USG
    property.

    II  (SBU) Macro Conflict Conditions

    ¶A.  (SBU) Iceland is not involved in an interstate or
    intrastate conflict.

    ¶B.  (SBU) Iceland is not involved in an intrastate conflict.

    ¶C.  (SBU) Iceland is not involved in an interstate or
    intrastate conflict.  The only US diplomatic mission is in
    Reykjavik.

    ¶D.  (SBU) Iceland is not involved in an intrastate conflict.

    III.  (S/NF) Host Country Capabilities

    ¶A.  (C) The police (Logreglan) are well-trained and
    professional.  All police attend the national police academy
    with a comprehensive curriculum.  The  current number of
    police officers in Iceland is 780 (1 police officer for every
    409 citizens).  A newspaper article on 12 February 2009
    claims the Metropolitan Police (Reykjavik) is in dire
    financial straits.  Costs relating to the demonstrations are
    piling up with no funds to cover them in the budget.  The
    Police Commissioner is fearful that police officer positions
    will be cut to offset those expenses.  Such a cut will be
    detrimental to a police force that has only 20-25 officers on
    patrol during any shift.

    ¶B.  (SBU) Icelandic police have been trained by US agencies
    in various areas including customs/border/port security,
    cyber security and computer crimes, hostage negotiation,
    crisis management, and several others.  The training has been
    effective.  The RSO notes evidence of the training in his
    interactions with the police.  There has been no training
    since Post,s last SEPQ response.

    ¶C.  (C) No evidence of corruption has been observed or
    uncovered.

    ¶D.  (S/NF) Iceland does not have an intelligence service.
    The National Security Unit (NSU) within the National
    Commissioner's Office handles threat information analysis.
    The NSU is comprised of three individuals.  The NSU is too
    small to undertake any type of intelligence gathering role
    and responds to threats as they arise, such as threats
    against Icelandic officials, demonstrations/protests, and
    "extremist" groups.  The NSU is not a tradecraft or covert
    group.  There are no terrorism-related examples, but the
    NSU's investigative and analytical capabilities have been
    demonstrated through operations in varying fields of law
    enforcement such as organized crime (OC), counterintelligence
    (CI), and counter-narcotics (CN).  GRPO maintains liaison
    with the NSU.

    ¶E.  (SBU) Law enforcement agencies, including the NSU, have
    been very cooperative with US Embassy requests for
    information and support.

    ¶F.  (U) N/A

    ¶G.  (SBU) All planned requests for support were fully
    completed in a timely and thorough manner.  All impromptu
    requests for support were responded to within minutes.

    ¶H.  (C) The overall assessment of security at the major
    airport in Iceland is excellent.  Screening is comparable to
    US standards and perimeter security is well-organized and
    implemented.  There are direct flights into and out of the
    US.  The Transportation and Security Administration (TSA) is
    closely involved with the security requirements/standards at
    Keflavik International Airport (KEF).  The Keflavik Airport
    Authority changed hands on 1 January 2009.  Security
    responsibilities are now handled by a private limited company
    owned by the government.  The current Director of Security
    was the Acting Airport Managing Director prior to the change.

    ¶I.  (C) The customs and immigration controls at KEF are
    effective.  The Sudurnes Police District, the district
    responsible for the airport, has a high success rate of
    intercepting contraband and suspect travel documents.  The
    police monitor passenger manifests prior to aircraft arrival
    (Advanced Passenger Information - API) and compare the list
    against several databases, including Interpol and Europol.
    The police possess a fraudulent document lab at the airport
    that deals with the fraudulent travel documents.  Although
    the numbers of events and personnel are relatively low, their
    effectiveness is high.  As of 1 January 2009, the customs
    authority now falls under the Ministry of Finance but is
    currently still operationally-controlled by the Sudurnes
    Police Commissioner.  This change-over is a work in progress.
    Eventually the Commissioner will have no responsibility or
    oversight of Customs at Keflavik.

    ¶J.  (C) Border patrol forces are effective.  Police and
    customs interdict narcotics on a somewhat regular basis.  The
    police do recognize the possibility that their borders could
    be infiltrated by rogue individuals using small seacraft and
    thus rely upon the Icelandic Coast Guard (ICG) for patrolling
    the waters.  The ICG has made severe cuts to their personnel
    and have limited their activities to rescue operations and
    training necessary to maintain proficiency operating their
    helicopters, aircraft and vessels.

    --------------------
    INDIGENOUS TERRORISM
    --------------------

    ¶I.  (C) Anti-American Terrorist Groups

    ¶A.  (C) There are no known indigenous anti-American terrorist
    groups.

    -----------------------
    TRANSNATIONAL TERRORISM
    -----------------------

    ¶I.  (S/NF)  Transnational Terrorism Indicators

    ¶A.  (C) There are no known foreign terrorist groups in
    Iceland.

    ¶B.  (U) N/A

    ¶C.  (C) The host government is not sympathetic to foreign
    terrorism groups in general.

    ¶D.  (C) Within the Muslim community and others outside the
    Muslim community, there might be a small number that support
    the actions of terrorism groups against the US.  The numbers
    or make-up of possible supporters are not known.  Any support
    to foreign terrorism groups is not overt.

    ¶E.  (S/NF) The Russians and Chinese have established
    diplomatic missions in Reykjavik.  There are no indications
    that these two countries are actively pursuing intelligence
    operations against the USG.  It is believed that the Chinese
    are conducting industrial espionage in the areas of DNA
    decoding and medical research in Iceland.

    ¶F.  (S/NF) There are no indications of hostile intelligence
    services in Iceland with the intent or aim to conduct
    potential anti-American attacks.  (NOTE: Iran, Iraq, Syria,
    Serbia, Sudan, etc. do not have diplomatic missions in
    Iceland.  The 14 declared, diplomatic missions in Iceland are
    the US, Danish, Swedish, French, German, Indian, British,
    Chinese, Russian, Polish, Canadian, Finnish, Japanese, and
    Norwegian.  END NOTE)

    ¶G.  (S) There are no indications that weapons or explosives
    are readily available to potential hostile terrorist
    elements.  There are approximately 52,000 firearms registered
    with the National Commissioner,s Office.
