The shaky camera footage, captioned "IRA film 1988" showed a helicopter being shot down accompanied by a voiceover: "With Gaddafi's heavy machine guns it was possible to shoot down a helicopter as the terrorists' own footage of 1988 shows."

In fact, no one died because it was footage from a 2009 "tactical shooter" game called Arma 2 set in the fictional east European nation of Chernarus. Full story.
