TORONTO

The man who orchestrated the infamous Mayor Rob Ford crack video used the same cellphone camera to record a second, shorter video where he gloats over his achievement, sources have revealed to the Toronto Sun.

Toronto Police recovered the second video segment in October at the same time as the mayor’s crack video, which was witnessed by two Toronto Star reporters as well as a reporter from the website Gawker.

Shot after the crack video, the second clip has Mohamed Siad speaking into the camera and proudly saying, “'I caught the mayor smoking crack.' (Siad's) definitely proud of himself for what he has done,” the source told the Sun.

“What was his purpose in creating this video? That’s the million-dollar question? Was he thinking this would be his get-out-of-jail free card or to keep the police away from him? Or is he just looking at selling it (to a media outlet as he tried with the Star and Gawker) or just blackmailing Ford?” asked the other source.

The second video, which both sources have seen but has not been viewed by the Sun, ends with Siad turning the camera to record his steering wheel and dashboard. The video is less than 30 seconds long.

Less than a month after the video story broke in May, Siad and Liban Siyad were arrested and charged in the massive Gun and Gang investigation called Project Traveller, which targeted alleged members of the Dixon City Bloods whom police allege were dealing drugs and guns in Rexdale, Windsor and across Ontario.

The mayor, who is under investigation by Toronto Police but has never been charged, has no control over direct operations of the police and has no control over prosecutions.

In police statements that were released by the courts, Siad scoffed at Ford’s offer of $5,000 and a car for his video. It’s possible Ford detected the video immediately and bargained for it then, but failed to secure the video.

Ford, who initially denied the existence of the video, later admitted he smoked crack, probably during a drunken stupor.

There are signs that the first video was shot indoors with daylight streaming through an opening in the window covering, which meant the crack smoking occurred in the day time.

A source stated a female voice was spurring Ford on with her own racial and homophobic comments, including one where she said she would “put my foot up (Liberal Leader) Justin Trudeau’s a--.”

“My sense is that she is goading him on. They are clearly all high. Is she spurring him to make comments that will make him look bad or is she just saying what she believes,” the source told the Sun.

The existence of the second, shorter video was revealed during a Superior Court bid in November by lawyers for Mohammad Khattak to secure the Ford crack video to prove Khattak wasn’t involved in its production or attempted sale.

Khattak was seen in a still photograph with Ford and two other alleged members of the Dixon City Bloods gang outside of a home in Windsor Rd., which police have described as a crack house. The photo was shown to reporters by the crack video pedlars to prove the tape was legitimate.
