A couple months ago Michelle Malkin (IIRC) had a link to a story, about an elaborately staged shooting in Palestinian territories - in which members of the intifada acted out being massacred for film, which sometimes was then showing up in news reports (which was the point of the research, following a particularly heavily publicized shooting of a man and his son)
Some French outlet ran with the story, I think.
It didn't actually happen at all. It was strictly staged for the cameras.
