Tillerson in Afghanistan: Photo of meeting apparently doctored

24 October 2017 Asia


Both the US and Afghanistan released photos of the meeting, with a crucial difference - a clock above the TVs

A photo of US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in Afghanistan appears to have been altered to suggest he was in Kabul, not a US air base miles away.

Images show him meeting President Ashraf Ghani in a windowless room at Bagram Airfield, under a US military clock and a red fire alarm.

But an Afghan press release with a similar photo minus the clock or alarm says Mr Ghani "received" Mr Tillerson.

Both sides initially said that the meeting took place in Kabul.

The US State Department later issued a correction, saying it had taken place at Bagram, the biggest American military base in Afghanistan.
