TORONTO

Judge the mayor by the terrifying company that he kept.

Not just riff raff from the wrong side of the tracks. The Dixon City Bloods, Rob Ford’s alleged go-to guys for drugs, are the scariest of the scary, suspected of ordering murders, running $2,500 pistols and machine-guns and trafficking in large amounts of cocaine.

It’s not that we didn’t already know Ford allegedly bought his drugs from gangsters. But the latest court documents unsealed late Friday reveal the truly frightening nature of this violent Etobicoke gang that funnelled guns and narcotics from Windsor to Toronto — and allegedly counted the mayor of Toronto as a friend and customer.

When Toronto Police launched Project Traveller last year, they had no idea their investigation into the Dixon crew would soon intersect with Ford and the many unsavoury members who were his associates. This latest release of Traveller court documents offers a chilling peak at the men in Ford’s netherworld.

Liban Siyad — the alleged drug dealer called to the Windsor Rd. “crack house” to supply Ford on April 20, 2013? Police allege that on March 28, 2013, he said, “OK halal meat,” which they interpreted as Siyad instructing “Anthony Smith, Mohammad Khattak and Ahmed Dirie to attack ‘Post’ as retaliation. As a result of this attempt of retaliation Anthony Smith was shot and murdered.”

Both photographed a month earlier with a bleary-eyed Ford in that infamous picture, Smith and Khattak were gunned down outside Loki Lounge on King St. W. After news spread that Smith had died, alleged fellow gangbanger Ayanle Omar is intercepted, according to police, saying that he’ll import “five guns from Windsor to Toronto for the purpose of arming members of the Dixon Crew” for a gang war.

On March 31, police contend Omar’s alleged gun runner tried to evade the OPP by crashing through the underground garage at 340 Dixon Rd. and abandoning the car.

According to the police document, Monir Kasim, the third man photographed with the mayor, is wiretapped saying, “Me personally, if I was to shoot somebody, I’d make sure they die.” He also allegedly complains that he’s trying to get his own firearm because “everybody in Toronto and their moms have guns.”

As the police outlined in their request for search warrants: “Members of this criminal organization live a high-risk lifestyle. In fact, during the course of Project Traveller, named party Anthony Smith was violently murdered as a result of being shot in head. This event lead to several interceptions that indicated members of the criminal organization were arming themselves and preparing for retaliation.”

Mohamed Siad, the man who allegedly sold crack to the mayor and filmed him on his iPhone, is accused in these court documents of being a prolific drug dealer and a Windsor-to-Toronto gun smuggler who paid women to be his mules. He’s also one of the two men that Ford’s good friend Alexander “Sandro” Lisi is charged with threatening because, police allege, he believed he “may be in possession of the video recording.”

Yes, this was the social circle of the man occupying the city’s highest office. We can only hope he’s making better friends in rehab.
