Sxtract from a note on an interview with Saiyid Shahab
bin Faisal^ Minister for External Affairs t at 10 a.m. on
February Isti 1941 y at his office*
"1. Saiyid Shahab considered that there was little doubt
that Ibri and Saleef were in the hands of the Imam* He considered
that the Wali Mudhaffar's information was not absolutely accurate
and suspected the Wali Mudhaffar of wishing to quarrel with the
Imam. He said that he had received information similar to that
which I obtained from Shuin bin Amar and that he had further been
recently informed that the Imam had collected an army of at least
eight to ten thousand men at Bahlah* He said that in his opinion
this last item of information was a gross exaggeration as he could
not for the life of him understand where the Imam could raise
such a force and pay it| when it was known that Sheikh Isa bin
Saleh al Harthi had so far not taken any part in the Dahirah
trouble* Even if Ainane was occupied by the Imami Saiyid Shahab
did not consider that it was possible for the followers of the
Khalili to hold the area they had at present acquired for more
than a month to six weeks* He felt sure that the Imam 1 s Force
would melt away as the prospects of pay and loot dwindled* For
his part he was not prepared to give one pie or one round of
ammunition unless the Imam made a definite move into the Beni
Kalban territory when it would be necessary, firstly, to endeavour
by persuasion to settle the trouble between the Beni Kalban and
the Imam and, secondly, should persuasion fail to take steps to
prevent the Imam from obtaining or as the case may be retaining
a foothold in the Beni Kalban territory* 11
