Newsweek journalist resigns over Doctored UN report

Journalist, Tareq Haddad, resigned from Newsweek after editors spiked a story he wrote about a doctored UN report on an alleged chemical attack in Syria. In his piece, Haddad wrote that a UN report had at first included a paragraph stating that there had been no chemical attack in Douma in 2016. He also claimed that it been deleted from the final, published version. In Haddad’s opinion, this skewed wider understanding and prompted retaliation by the US and its allies. His former employers say the story was based on a conspiracy theory.
