BBC Admits To Photo Staging?

Hmm...

When Um Ali Mihdi returned to her home in the southern Lebanese city of Bint Jbeil two days ago, she found a 1,000lb (450kg) Israeli bomb lying unexploded in her living room.

The shell is huge, bigger than the young boy pushed forward to stand reluctantly next to it while we get our cameras out and record the scene for posterity.


And just who, might I ask, might be pushing a young boy forward to stand next to a large, unexploded Israeli bomb?

Couldn't be Hezbollah propagandists trying to manufacture more sympathetic media coverage for themselves, could it?

I think that would be a safe bet. And note that after the boy is positioned next to the unexploded bomb the journalists on the scene are all too happy to snatch up their cameras and begin clicking away. For, you know, posterity's sake.
