THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: A campaign group for Muslim prisoners, partnered by Amnesty International, has published a mock execution of President Obama.CagePrisoners, run by Moazzam Begg, the former Guantánamo detainee, published a fake picture of Mr Obama with head wounds and headlined it: "Breaking news: Barack Obama is dead."
The article underneath, which has been duplicated on Muslim forums across the internet, described the US president as a war criminal and claimed he had been killed by Pakistani security forces at a compound near Camberley, Surrey, not far from Sandhurst. Mr Obama's wife Michelle was also said to have been killed when she was used as "a shield".
"Obama was cremated at the stake after a Christian funeral on board an aircraft carrier," the article said, mocking the Muslim funeral given to Osama bin Laden.
The article, by Fahad Ansari, criticised Mr Obama for the campaign of drone attacks against al-Qaeda in the tribal areas of Pakistan and claimed Pakistan believed his killing was "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat the CIA". » | Duncan Gardham | Friday, May 13, 2011
