The Reuters news agency said Monday it has cut its ties with a Beirut-based freelance photographer who it found had manipulated two photographs from the ongoing fighting in Lebanon. It also removed all 920 pictures by the photographer from its database.

Reuters cut its relationship with Hajj on Sunday after reviewing that photo, and on Monday found that he had also manipulated a second photograph, showing an Israeli jet fighter over southern Lebanon and dated Aug. 2. In that photo, Hajj changed the image to show three flares being dropped by the plane, instead of just one.
Hajj denied deliberately manipulating the image. He said he was trying to remove dust marks and made mistakes because of bad lighting.
HAHAHAHA yeah right, Hajj...slip of the mouse...[8D]
