A Canadian s gruesome account as an Islamic State executioner in Syria, which was the subject of the Caliphate podcast by The New York Times, was fabricated, officials say. A Times review found no corroboration of his claim to have committed atrocities.
He described the killings in lurid detail how he shot one man in the head and stabbed another in the heart before hanging the corpse on a cross.
He spoke at length about joining the religious police of the Islamic State in Syria, and being trucked to a terrorist training session on attacking the West, including North America, his homeland.

After an internal review that took more than two months, The New York Times has determined that “Caliphate,” its award-winning 2018 podcast, did not meet the standards for Times journalism. (Zack DeZon/The New York Times) The New York Times established a timeline of Shehroze Chaudhry’s movements using passport stamps and travel records, social media posts and university documents. The timeline does not rule out the possibility that Chaudhry went to Syria but leaves little time for him to have done so. (The New York Times)
