Photo of Mohammad Fazi with Severed Heads-Fiction!

Summary of eRumor: 

In May 2014, President Obama announced that he was gong to exchange 5 prisoners from the U.S. facility at Guantanamo Bay for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl who has been held captive by the Taliban for the past five years. An alleged photo of one of the Gitmo prisoners, Mohammad Fazi, went viral on the Web that showed him sitting behind five severed heads while holding a bloody knife.

The Truth:
The photo was not of Mohammad Fazi. The man in the photo was an Iraqi named Abdurahman, who immigrated to the Netherlands and has been living off Dutch welfare for the past 10 years.
The photo was found posted on the website of writer Pamela Gellar.
