Ahmed Zaoui’s Tourist Video Available Online

Ahmed Zaoui’s Tourist Video Available Online

The video Ahmed Zaoui filmed while travelling from Malaysia to Thailand via Laos and Vietnam is now available to online. This is the full 60 minutes of video that the New Zealand Secret Intelligence Service (NZ SIS) allege "looks suspiciously like a casing video." The allegation was made in the summary of allegations against Mr. Zaoui which was recently released by the SIS.

See www.freezaoui.org.nz/

Viewing the video raises serious questions as to the judgement of the SIS. It is very difficult to image how the footage could be of any use as a ‘casing’ video. The allegations also fail to explain why Ahmed Zaoui would be casing Malaysia, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam or for what purpose. Ahmed Zaoui has simply filmed people, buildings, boats, buses, animals and anything else of interest on his journey. He typically pans the area then zooms in on an item of interest and then zooms out again.

Although this is a adequate technique for a tourist video, it is hardly of any use for any other purpose.

Anyone wanting to confirm this for themselves, can now watch the video in full at http://www.freezaoui.org.nz/
