Episode description

In 2015, Khalifa Haftar--a fierce military general, known as "Libya's most potent warlord"--began an operation to take over the state of Libya. He led an insurgent army, slowly taking over the country's southern lands, headed straight for the capital of Tripoli. All the while, 'Khalifa Haftar' on Facebook was publishing updates about the war, even top-secret documents, to thousands of fans.
Why was one of the world's most significant military leaders posting classified documents to Facebook? He wasn't, of course. But what was actually going on was just as strange.
