No, Canada Free Press is reporting the same thing as every other news outlet. The conflicting stuff was reported yesterday, when garbled information about the incident was just beginning to trickle out. Go to the CFP link and scroll down to the next article.
Drinking alcohol, more likely.
I think you need to check the fit on your tin foil hat.
His name is Arabic, spelled in Arabic letters, which don't correspond directly to our alphabet. There are multiple ways of transcribing the same Arabic name into our alphabet.
Definitely a dry run.
It should have been spelled the way it was spelled on the Qatar embassy web site,his own facebook page and his diplomat filings. Why is that so hard for the media to do?
Nowhere in any of his records was it spelled as Mohammed al Modadi. His name according to all of his records in this country and on his own website was Mohammed al-Madadi.
If all those sources have it identical, I suspect the MOdadi version is derived from early media reports where it was mispelled by a reporter who didn’t have time to check multiple sources. The mispelling may have been based on oral reports, and the Arabic pronunciation may sound more like Modadi than Madadi. At any rate, inconsistent spelling by reporters is hardly indicative of a conspiracy to make it hard to find info about him.
i couldn’t find it. the next article is a reuters article.
It’s a Reuters article being carried by Canada Free Press, which has apparently (wisely) ceased its efforts at independent reporting on the matter.
