Siddiq seems to have now appeared in the story of the Syrian uprising. There was a video leaked (taken from a documentary that is being shot about the Syrian opposition) which showed Siddiq meeting with the prominent Syrian opposition figure, Haytham al-Malih in Brussels. The meeting seemed odd on camera and al-Malih told Siddiq that his “reputation preceded” him, in reference to his lying record. In the meeting, Siddiq also accused Israel of assassinating Hariri (this part never made it into the news stories) and then left the meeting abruptly and threatened al-Malih. Siddiq’s brother later accused al-Malih of pocketing about US$30 million from Canadian sources.
This could have been a big story if this was about characters and movements that the West do not want to promote and romanticize. But it received no coverage whatsoever. Who is protecting Siddiq and who was behind his account that was delivered to Mehlis? And what was Siddiq doing meeting with al-Malih? Al-Malih was asked about this meeting and he simply said that he made an appointment and came to the office of Syrian National Council. The plot thickens.
