As New York Daily News points out, it's possible Conway was referring to a case in which two Iraqi nationals were charged and sentenced to jail "for taking part in attacks against U.S. troops in their home country," and who happened to be living in Bowling Green, Kentucky at the time they were indicted. But as the source points out, no incident actually took place on U.S. soil, and there's no evidence of a "massacre" ever having occurred in Bowling Green. Their indictment did lead the Obama administration to review vetting procedures for Iraqi nationalists — but contrary to what Conway suggests, it was in no way a "ban."

She wasn't accidentally referring to some other, real, massacre. She meant Bowling Green, she was just extremely poorly briefed on what she was supposed to be talking about.
CNN has begun refusing to take her as a guest worth interviewing. They're holding out for someone else from the administration, like Pence.
