GEOSTRATEGY-DIRECT INTELLIGENCE BRIEF
Source robbed after claiming WMD in Syria
Journalist speculates French security agents behind daytime theft
February 13, 2004
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.

Hopefully, the guy wasn't dumb enough to leave his only copies in his apartment.
