Original Message
A Russian bot account claimed an image showed a Muslim woman ignoring victims of the Westminster terror attack and shared it as propaganda online.
@SouthLoneStar, which shared the image, was identified as a Russian account as part of a US investigation into the country's influence on the 2016 presidential election.
The account tweeted:"Muslim woman pays no mind to the terror attack, casually walks by a dying man while checking phone #PrayForLondon #Westminster #BanIslam."
Twitter has confirmed that the tweet was created by a Russian bot account. The social media giant has since closed down the account, Wired reported.
In the wake of the March 22 Westminster attack that left five dead, an image of a woman wearing a hijab and clutching her phone as she walked along the bridge began to circulate on social media.
