Syrian authorities tried to bribe Siddiq, report

Share:

Former Syrian intelligence operative Mohammad Zuhair Siddiq claimed that the Syrian authorities tried to bribe him according to MTV .

MTV broadcast on Tuesday excerpts of a recording that will be broadcast in full Thursday on Voice of Lebanon radio station.

“The Syrian authority attempted to bribe me through a translator to not submit the documents I had in my possession to the [international] committee investigating [the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri],” Siddiq said in the recording.

Siddiq also said that he was offered 5 million Euros to withdraw his testimony to the international committee of investigation and “disappear out of sight.”

He added that he had met the translator at a hotel in Granada in Spain, saying the attempt to bribe him is recorded and in the possession of the investigation committee.

The station added that Siddiq’s recording will reveal who “Mr. X” is and how the latter is linked to Speaker Nabih Berri.

The 2005 United Nations International Independent Commission (UNIIC) report about the Rafik Hariri murder cited an intercepted phone conversation between Mr. X—who is rumored to be a Lebanese official—speaking to former Syrian military intelligence chief in Lebanon Brigadier Rustom Ghazali.

New TV on January 16 broadcast a recording of a meeting between outgoing Prime Minister Saad Hariri and an investigator from the international investigation into the Rafik Hariri murder. On January 15, it broadcast a meeting between a UNIIC official, Siddiq and Internal Security Forces Information Branch chief Wissam al-Hassan.

Siddiq who is one of the so called ‘false witnesses’ of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon ( STL) also said on Jan 23 that he has recordings that implicate some Syrian officers in Hariri’s assassination .

In a telephone call from an unknown location, Siddiq called Lebanese television New TV, which has close links with Hezbollah, and said: ‘I have seven recorded phone conversations of people who were involved in the Hariri murder, and (the recordings) will soon be in the possession of the UN tribunal.’

Siddiq aired a voice recording, and said many Lebanese ‘will recognize his voice, but I will not name him now’.

Observers believed the voice recording was of Rustom Ghazali.

The Hariri assassination in 2005 caused an international and local outcry, during which Syria was pushed to end its 30-year military presence in Lebanon.

Hariri’s followers allege that Syria was behind the murder of Hariri, a charge Damascus has always denied.

The tribunal was established in 2007 to probe and try people involved in the Hariri murder

    Now we know why they want the false witnesses so bad… so they discredit the witnesses their money could not buy.

    Let whatever happen happen.. the truth has to come out. We will not go back to the days pre February 14, 2005.

    Hizbollah are murderers
    Assad and Co are murderers
    Najad is a murderer

    If anyone is wondering what Lebanon would be if Hezbollah is in power, look at Iran and you will get a glimpse. Bye bye freedom and liberties.

    Cheers, General!

        That’s what the “bastard” claimed but I guess he changed his mind. That’s why his new name is Walid Jump-a-Lot

          I like the name… Jump-a-lot… I think he had to choose between political assassination or personal assassination and he chose the former. One cannot know the absolute truth behind those decisions but money in this case is not one of them. If he chose money over life for him and his son he would have stayed with the Hariri camp but even if his conscience is for real, fear can make you do the things you hate the most. Give Jump-a-lot a break… lol

          Perfect Name it fits the bill.Most of the Druzes are so disgusting with him.I’m pretty sure he had a bottle of “ARAK” before he switch sides.I guess he is afraid of Hezbollah because he was on their hit list.He is a disgraceful figure for the Druze community and a puppet ,’what a shameful maneuver’. Enough said for now.

      You’re totally right and I would rather have weak leadership in M14 rather than strong M8 who leaders will not stop at nothing but to eliminate anyone in their ways.

        Becareful what you wish for… I am with M14 but not with a weak leadership, they have to prove themselves worthy. We cant just accept them at facevalue or with our emotions, the proof is in the pudding!

          Samsa I agree with you but what i am saying in general i would rather have more peaceful led cabinet rather than one that are strong but is out there to control and hurt Lebanese and isolate Lebanon from the world. Of course I would not want a weak M14 and no supporters wants that and we’re frustrated by them not seizing many oppt. that could have put them at the top. I am with any cabinet that will lead to stability and prosperity and look after the welfare of the people no matter what party they belong to. But judging from what M8 has done to subotage every move Hariri made in order to make him fail. Then they turn around and say you’ve done nothing to help the country. with all the assassinations they have done and throwing intimidations as they see fit. Then we don’t want this type of cabinet in our backyard.

    The so called False witnesses as claimed by Syria, Iran and their puppet Hezbollah in Lebanon. First all the false witnesses are either in Syria or Lebanon living among them. With the exception of Siddiq of course. so why don’t Syria try Husem Husem who is working directly with Bashar al Assad. Why not prosecute Jamil Al Syed who is also happened to be a false witness, walid jumbolaya in Shouf and Lahoud. these people lied then to proclaim they had nothing to do with assassinations or at least mislead the investigators. On top of them Husem Husem he is a big liar and again living happily in Syria. why don’t Nassrallah calls for his head. they’re using false witnesses issue to sidetrack everyone from the real killers and anyone who’s protecting the killers and as much guilty too. Any dogs who jump up and down like them trying to shoot anyone who dares accuse them. That’s GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY and there is nothing you can do to hide the truth. If you truly believe in Allah but i doubt that very much then you will come to your senses and give up these jackasses you’re hiding in Syria, Iran and dahia. its time for you to come clean. Otherwise you’re the one who is pushing Lebanon into the brink of war again and you’re the one who’s playing in the hands of the Israel and the US.
