CNN suspected of ‘fabricating’ Syrian jail release story

An “ordinary civilian” the network claims to have discovered in a “secret prison” has been revealed to be an intel officer involved in killings, torture, and extortion

CNN has been forced to admit that a Syrian man it claimed to have ‘discovered’ in a Damascus prison, and whom it filmed as part of a highly questionable report showing a journalist participating in the captive's release, is in fact a former intelligence officer who was involved in multiple crimes.
