I am going to ask a bunch of questions about being misled now. No little warping boat involved this time....

Very well put together page. Sure does look authentic.

This story looks... suspicious in that it is linked nowhere on the actual site... The only way to find it is to follow Dr. Doom's direct link. It is also not on any other news sites including CNN.

Also, in the bottom right it says :

It would have been better if you had used the hyperlink feature so we wouldn't see the bbclosangeles part of the URL.

This is a faux news article, please remember to check multiple sources and facts.

Im sure CNN would have been all over this already and not a BBC Los Angeles. Actually it be everywhere on TV if he was caught for terrorist aiding
