Pages and accounts on social media circulated a report claiming that the Internal Security forces arrested a person named Miqdad Fatiha along with his group in an intelligence operation.
The fact-checking team contacted the media director of the Internal Security, Fahd al-Fahd, to verify the circulating report. The source categorically denied the reports of the arrest of Fatiha, confirming that they have no basis in fact and were not issued by any official body.
Why is this claim misleading?
Fabricated news: A supposed intelligence operation was circulated and attributed to the Internal Security forces without any official confirmation, then built upon to suggest the capture of a specific wanted person, which the concerned source denied, making the report fabricated and unsupported by any reliable source.
