Extract from .4 not^ on an interview with Saiyid Shahab
bin Faisal, Minister for rbcternai Affairs, at 10 a.m. on
February 1st, 1941,at hie office.
’’I. Saiyid Ohahab considered that there was little doubt
that Ibri and Caleef were in the hands of the Imam. He considered
that the ‘Jali lAudhaffar’s information was not absolutely accurate
and suspected the wall Mudhaffar of wishing to quarrel with the
Iiaara. 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 dahlah. 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 iiarthi had so far not taken any part in the Dahirah
trouble. Even if Ainane was occupied by tae Imam, Saiyid Shahab
did not consider that it was possible for the followers of the
hhalili to hold the area they had at present acquired for more
than a month to six weeks. He felt cure that the Imam’s Force
would melt away as the prospects of pay ana 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
halban 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.* 1 p
