BOMBING IN MOMBASA

PAUL CARROLL,

PAUL CARROLL,

Madam, - On page 17 of your edition of November 29th you published an extremely graphic and harrowing photograph of three victims of the terrorist attack in Kenya.

As a regular reader, I do not recall similarly explicit photographs of victims being published in the aftermath of comparable outrages in the US or Bali. I feel your readers deserve an explanation as to why you felt it appropriate to depart from previous practice in respect of these unfortunate victims, who surely have as much right as anyone to be treated with dignity even in death. - Yours, etc.,

PAUL CARROLL, Townsend Street, Dublin 2.
