The BBC published photo of Iraqi dead when reporting on Houla

The recent tragedy in Houla, Syria was horrendous and the BBC published a photo of rows of dead people when reporting the tragedy. One problem, the photo was of Iraqi dead, taken in 2003.
The bloodshed in Houla left at least 90 people dead, including 32 children. A horrific and terrible tragedy.
The BBC was reporting on the incident and posted a photo of "rows of childrens' bodies awaiting burial."
Then the original photographer, Marco di Lauro, saw the image on the BBC and says he nearly "fell off his chair"... read full article.
