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. #CNNControversy #AssadRegime #SyriaTorturer #ElonMusk #FakeNews #SyrianPrisoner #ClarissaWard #WarCrimes #SalamaMohammadSalama #AssadTorture #CNNExposed #MuskVsCNN #SocialMediaBacklash #MediaAccountability #SyrianRescue Also Read Assam: 5 POCSO-Accused Inmates Escape Prison Scaling 20-Ft Wall Using Lungis, Bedsheets :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/assam-5-pocso-accused-inmates-escape-prison-scaling-20-ft-wall-using-lungis-bedsheets-3958507.html?ref=DMDesc UN Experts Urge Bahrain to Ensure Adequate Prison Conditions in Heat :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/un-experts-call-for-better-prisoner-conditions-in-bahrain-011-3908603.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Agrees to Release Hostages in Exchange for Palestinian Prisoners :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-agrees-to-release-hostages-in-exchange-for-palestinian-prisoners-gen-3690723.html?ref=DMDesc
