A Syrian exile who has supplied detailed information on Syrian government activities has become the victim of a suspicious break-in and theft.
The apartment belonging to Nizar Nayuf, a dissident journalist who claimed Iraq's hidden weapons of mass destruction are stored in Syria, was broken into on Jan. 30. He lives in the northwestern Paris suburb of Malakoff.
Thieves stole three CDs that Nayuf said contained information on France's relations with Saddam Hussein's Iraq, specifically involving money transfers between the two countries.
The daytime break-in occurred while Nayuf was attending a meeting at the French Interior Ministry, fueling speculation that French security agents were behind the theft.
After returning to his flat, Nayuf found the doorknob broken off and several drawers emptied. Some things had been moved but only the CDs were missing, Nayuf told police.
Nayuf was freed from a Syrian prison in 2001 after nine years in detention.
Thieves stole three CDs that Nayuf said contained information on France's relations with Saddam Hussein's Iraq... This sounds a lot like "the dog ate my homework." The guy, an experienced reporter from a country that doesn't like reporters, didn't have smarts enough to figure out that backup copies stored off-site might be a good idea?
