It appears that AP in their relentless quest for negative and sensationalistic news from Iraq have pulled another Jamil Hussein. Thursday they reported 20 Beheaded Bodies Found in Iraq. Only one problem, it never happened.
MNF informs us: Extremists using false media reporting to incite sectarian violence
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Friday, news media reported a mass killing in a village near Salman Pak where 20 men were allegedly found beheaded. It now appears that the story was completely false and fabricated by unknown sources.
Upon learning of the press reports, coalition and Iraqi officials began investigating to determine if the reports were true. Ultimately it was concluded the reports were false.
Anti-Iraqi Forces are known for purposely providing false information to the media to incite violence and revenge killings, and they may well have been the source of this misinformation.
So typical of AP to print thinly corroborated evidence from our enemies to sell stories and promote their anti war agenda.
