LONDON - The editor of Britain's Daily Mirror tabloid newspaper resigned Friday and the paper apologized after admitting that pictures it ran showing U.K. troops abusing Iraqi prisoners were fakes.
From the Daily Mirror "The Daily Mirror published in good faith photographs which it absolutely believed were genuine images of British soldiers abusing an Iraqi prisoner," the newspaper said.
"There is now sufficient evidence to suggest that these pictures are fakes and that the Daily Mirror has been the subject of a calculated and malicious hoax." Full at: http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2004/05/14/mirrorpics_040514
