Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera published on its Facebook page, Thursday, a photo of Moroccan actress Loubna Abidar, confusing her with Iraqi former President Saddam Hussein’s granddaughter.
Alongside the picture, Al Jazeera’s Facebook post contained a series of details revealed by Saddam Hussein’s granddaughter on her family after Saddam’s downfall in March 2003.
Al Jazeera’s post was quickly noticed by Moroccan Facebook users who recognized the Marrakech-native, known for her controversial movie «Much Loved».
The post was deleted later and replaced with another one that featured an old photo of the former Iraqi president with his daughters.
The updated post was, ridiculously, criticized by internet users who realized that Al Jazeera’s journalists changed the photo after reading comments about Loubna Abidar. «We want Loubna Abidar back», joked a Facebook user, commenting on Al Jazeera’s updated post.
