In June 2014, CNN released a 7-minute video investigating fundraising for terrorism in Qatar. The video, released as a “CNN Outfront Special Report” shows an al-Qaeda linked militia “directing followers to donate to the (Madid Ahl al-Sham) campaign” through its Twitter account. CNN's Erin Burnett also interviewed al-Kabi over the phone who claimed he had no knowledge that his Twitter account included a Madid Ahl al-Sham flyer soliciting donations for the arming, feeding, and treating of a soldier.
