Caliphate (podcast)
''Caliphate'' is a narrative podcast published by ''The New York Times'' in 2018 which covers the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). It was hosted by reporter Rukmini Callimachi. The central figure of the podcast was Pakistani-Canadian Shehroze Chaudhry (using the name "Abu Huzaifa al-Kanadi"), who described in detail atrocities he claimed to have committed in Syria for ISIL. Concerns were raised that his story was a fabrication or a grave misrepresentation, and in 2020 Chaudhry was arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's O Division Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (OINSET) for lying about participating in terrorist activities. Following his arrest, ''The New York Times'' admitted to a severe editorial failing and retracted Chaudry's story. Synopsis A large portion of the podcast is dedicated to following the story of a Canadian ex-ISIL fighter using the ''nom de guerre'' Abu Huzaifa al-Kanadi.
