It’s bad enough when photo journalists stage photo opportunities, but now the BBC has taken matters to a new twisted level–endangering kids for the sake of a photo.
Reporter Martin Asser explains:
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.
