"Correction: November 15, 2014
An earlier version of this article overstated what is known about the steps taken by the Islamic State as part of its plan to restore the caliphate that dominated the Middle East more than 1,300 years ago. While some news reports and diplomats from the region said the violent jihadist group had started issuing passports, and images described as those passports were posted by the group’s sympathizers on social media, the group never announced the issuance of passports, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadist communications."
