Submission + - Russia posts video game screenshot as 'proof' of US helping IS (bbc.com)

Russia's Ministry of Defence has posted what it called "irrefutable proof" of the US aiding so-called Islamic State — but one of the images was actually taken from a video game.
The ministry claimed the image showed an IS convoy leaving a Syrian town last week aided by US forces.
Instead, it came from the smartphone game AC-130 Gunship Simulator: Special Ops Squadron.
The ministry said an employee had mistakenly attached the photo.
The Conflict Intelligence Team fact-checking group said the other four provided were also errors, taken from a June 2016 video which showed the Iraqi Air Force attacking IS in Iraq.
But when I asked Putin he said they didn't do it.
