Captured Islamic State Leader had Barack Obama on Speed Dial

Claim: a captured Islamic State leader's phone had the contact information of world leaders, including former President Barack Obama.

This news, publish by The Daily World Update on March 11, is most definitely fake. "There is no truth to a report that federal agencies discovered that Obama's phone number was found on the unlocked Apple iPhone of an Islamic State operative" (Link). The fake news also claims that several other leaders were found on the phone's contact list. Legitimate news coverage has been reported on the arrest that has been made, but it was too late, for the fake news was already being reported by Special News USA and spread among social media. Fortunately, the news was shut down before a whole controversy broke out. [1 image, 1 link, 1 quote, 125 words]
