Mr. Farah of the Washington Post, for instance, posted an
online comment referring to the Article. This suggests that he had at least

respectively, alerting their friend Mr. Salman Iqbal to the spread of the
Article by a Mr. Tariq Muhammad. Mr. Muhammad (possibly a fictitious

name) downloaded the Article and sent e-mails attaching the same to

various persons with the TV broadcast industry.

There is, for example, a fax letter dated 4 May 2006 from
Mr. Shezad Sheikh of A. J.’s International Ltd. of Hong Kong to the effect
that, due to the Article, a Hong Kong dinner to introduce ARY to the

Mr. Remedios rightly points out that the letter does not

expressly state that the Article had been accessed or downloaded by

Article had been sighted or accessed, if not by Mr. Sheikh personally, then

at least by the business persons whom he wished to invite. I think that on

the balance of probability I can draw such an inference. I note that there is
no suggestion that Mr. Sheikh’s letter is a concoction.
