BBC News uses 'Iraq photo to illustrate Syrian massacre' The BBC is facing criticism after it accidentally used a picture taken in Iraq in 2003 to illustrate the senseless massacre of children in Syria. Mis-captioned photo on BBC website The photograph was actually taken by Marco di Lauro in Iraq in 2003 By Hannah Furness 10:39PM BST 27 May 2012 Comments44 Comments Photographer Marco di Lauro said he nearly fell off his chair when he saw the image being used, and said he was astonished at the failure of the corporation to check their sources. The picture, which was actually taken on March 27, 2003, shows a young Iraqi child jumping over dozens of white body bags containing skeletons found in a desert south of Baghdad. It was posted on the BBC news website today under the heading Syria massacre in Houla condemned as outrage grows. The caption states the photograph was provided by an activist and cannot be independently verified, but says it is believed to show the bodies of children in Houla awaiting burial. A BBC spokesman said the image has now been taken down.
