My telegram, January 23rd, 940 (Diary No. 6602), 13 individuals who have
been ringleaders in recent political intrigue in Baghdad were arrested to-day.
They are all ^-Turkish officials recently arrived from Musal and include
several members of C. U. P.
They will be sent to India for internment. Their continued retention in
Bombay is open to objection and as their return to Mesopotamians in no case
desired I would suggest that they should be sent to Egypt on arrival Bombay

themselves arrested 30 members of C. U. P. on January 30th.
