I regret delay In replying but I have been
trying to discover Iraq's reactions to,Abdullah's return to Iraq,
I now learn unofficially that Abdullah is at liberty to return
but will have to stand trial for raid into Persia. Evidence
is probably, insufficient to convict him and on acquittal he wouK
aluost certainly be placed in residence forcee outside Basra
Liwa. It is unlikely that he would be given a subsistence
allowance by the Iraq government unless so placed in forced
residence. £ 7?

to India Cffice. 1 am inclined to agree with view expressed
in paragraph 5 that if we cannot persuade the Iraqis or Persians
to support Abdullah and his brothers we must do so ourselves.
(In that case we could at least decide where they are to live
- Cyprus seems an obvious place). I doubt whether Iraq would
keep Abdullah in forced residence for ever. I also doubt a
i
satisfactory outcome to negotiations for compensation between
Chasib and Persian government. Only alternative appears to be
a British pension.
