Saudi media fabrications

""In an attempt to defend its credibility, Al-Watan [mouthpiece of prince Khalid Al-Faysal] published a recording of the alleged interview on its website. The speaker, who identifies himself as Bogdanov, also claims (in remarkably fluent Arabic) that Assad's brother, Maher al-Assad, had lost his legs in the July bombing of a key government headquarters in Damascus and was "fighting for his life." According to the AFP, the voice on the recording "sounded different from the voice of Bogdanov in videos available online." (thanks "Ibn Rushd")
