CNN Under Fire After Freed Syrian Prisoner Revealed to Be Assad Regime Torturer, Musk Reacts

CNN is facing widespread criticism after a Syrian prisoner freed in a high-profile rescue effort led by journalist Clarissa Ward was revealed to be Salama Mohammad Salama, a notorious torturer for the Assad regime.

Initially identified as an innocent detainee named Adel Ghurbal, Salama was later unmasked through Facial recognition and eyewitness testimonies as a first lieutenant in Syrian Air Force Intelligence, known for war crimes and extortion.

Elon Musk fueled the backlash by mocking CNN on social media, amplifying public outrage.

The revelation has sparked global condemnation and questions about CNN’s vetting process.

Trump Lifts ‘Brytal’, ‘Crippling’ Syria Sanctions | Trump Unlocks Syria’s Economy After Years Of War

In a stunning reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy, former President Donald Trump has lifted key sanctions on Syria, ending years of crippling economic isolation. The move comes as part of Trump’s promised Middle East shift, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new interim government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a former rebel commander. The U.S. Treasury and State Department jointly announced a sweeping waiver of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, unlocking billions in potential investment and opening Syria’s oil, electricity, and financial sectors to international engagement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the relief vital to restoring basic services like water, energy, and sanitation. #SyriaSanctions #TrumpSyria #SanctionsLifted #TrumpMiddleEast #USForeignPolicy #SyriaNews #TrumpNews #DonaldTrump #SyriaCrisis #TrumpAdministration #AssadFall #Damascus #HTS #PostWarSyria #MiddleEastPolitics #CaesarAct #SanctionsRelief #USPolicyShift #BreakingNews #HistoricMove Also Read Lebanon and Syria Agree to Ceasefire Following Two Days of Border Clashes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lebanon-syria-ceasefire-agreement-border-clashes-011-4097569.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is New Syrian Regime Hunting Down And Killing Alawites Amid Escalating Sectarian Violence In Country? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-is-new-syrian-regime-hunting-down-and-killing-alawites-amid-escalating-sectarian-violence-in-cou-4090547.html?ref=DMDesc Syria On Boil: Over 1,000 Dead As Alawite Minority Targeted In 'Revenge Killings' By Current Regime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syria-on-boil-over-1-000-dead-as-alawite-minority-targeted-in-revenge-killings-by-current-regime-4090369.html?ref=DMDesc

Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: 'There Are No Red Lines.' Al-Awlaki urged Muslims to revive the "tradition of assassinations," describing it as the "greatest form of Jihad today." He said the targets should be the "leaders of apostasy," whom he labeled "Jewish Arabs," specifically naming the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states. He appealed directly to military personnel in Arab countries, calling on them to take action. He said Arab pilots should strike "the Jews," U.S. military bases in the region, and American aircraft carriers. At the very least, he said, they should attack the palaces of Arab leaders, describing these as the "initial steps" that must be taken. Al-Awlaki claimed there are 4.5 million Muslims in the United States and said that they should carry out acts of retaliation without hesitation, stating: "Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans." Speaking over images of Manhattan skyscrapers, he said that the list of targets should be "effective," and declared: "There are no red lines." #TerrorThreat #AlAwlakiSpeech #JihadPropaganda #USNationalSecurity #IslamistExtremism #CounterTerrorism #RadicalIslam #HomegrownTerror #TerrorRecruitment #AssassinationPlot #ExtremistViolence #AntiSemitismAlert #TargetedViolence #USMilitaryThreat #TrumpSecurity #JewishCommunityAlert #MideastTensions #CyberTerrorismWatch #GlobalSecurityThreat #ManhattanThreatAlert ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.122~
