MY TELNO 571 (NOT TO LUSAKA) EXPLAINED OUR RELUCTANCE TO ALLOW
HONG KONG TO BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRAINING MEMBERS OF THE
JAPANESE SECURITY SERVICES IN ANTI-TERRORIST AND ANIT-HIJACKING
MEASURES.

2. IT WOULD BE EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO PREVENT THE PRESENCE OF
ZAMBIAN POLICE OFFICERS UNDERGOING THIS TYPE OF SPECIALIST TRAINING WITH THE POLICE TACTICAL UNIT OR SPECIAL DUTIES UNIT FROM BECOMING PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE AND AROUSING UNWELCOME CURIOSITY. ALTHOUGH THE CONSIDERATIONS APPLYING TO THE TWO CASES ARE NOT EXACTLY THE SAME, WE WOULD NOT WISH TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SPECUALTION THAT HONG KONG WAS BECOMING A CENTRE FOR SAS
TYPE OF TRAINING.
3. IN ADDITION TO THIS GENERAL POINT THERE ARE PRACTICAL
DIFFICULTIES. THE POLICE COULD NOT ACCEPT ANY ZAMBIAN OFFICERS
UNTIL THEIR OWN TRAINING COURSE, ORGANISED BY THE SAS, IS COMPLETED IN SEPTEMBER. EVEN WHEN THAT IS OVER, IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO ARRANGE SPECIAL COURSES FOR OUTSIDERS, SINCE THE
SDU WILL BE FULLY OCCUPIED UNDERGOING FOLLOW-UP TRAINING IN
ACCORDANCE WITH RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY THE SAS INSTRUCTORS.
4. SEEN FROM HERE, IT IS HARD TO SEE WHY IT IS NOT BETTER TO USE
THE SAS SCHOOL AT HEREFORD WHICH, WE UNDERSTAND, IS ALREADY USED FOR TRAINING MEMBERS OF THE SECURITY SERVICES OF OTHER GOVERNMENTS,
