Appears to be a U.K. M107 , 155MM HE round but the depth of the pic with it on the wall and the old raghead behind the wall suggest something bit smaller like a Yugoslav 122MM M462 or M76 HE round.......just a SWAG of course ......:o)

Artillery shell. Even my wife recognized that it wasn't a "missile".

The NYTimes got scammed. Again.

Simple ignorance? Or simple malice?

Both?

What kind of warhead is this.

Its an artillery shell. Looks like its been fired.

I don't think this is what was used to strike the building. This shell was probably in the building when it was hit by a hellfire. The militants may have salvaged "dud" artillery shells they intended to modify into IEDs or use as a source of raw explosives.

Doesn't this photo look funny for a number of other reasons? I'd like to know if any other graphic design enthusiasts/professionals see it too? Check out my post on this subject, and see for yourself.

Faked Up Photo Facts…

I'd certainly like to get a full resolution image of this photo from AFP or Getty to take a closer look.
