Reuters has refed the photo. Here it is, alongside the faked version:
Beats me why a photographer or editor would risk his job over that, or how anyone that inept could have gotten the gig in the first place.

But I'll bet Paul Julius Reuter is spinning in his grave.

Seeing those two pics side by side the fake looks absolutely stupid. It looks like some one tried to make it look like a secondary strike caused a large fire but the smoke coalesces into a single plume in the middle of the pic. Awful.

I still don't think it is right. Look at the areas of lightness. Why fake lightness, unless it is a mushroom shape he was going for?

Since Reuters has the original, I am betting that it was an editor who modified the photo rather than the photographer.

Thats just it, they haven't risked their job. The guy was only suspended.

Either Yahoo didn't "get" the memo to "PictureKill" this image or they ignored it. The yahoo link still shows the hoaxed image with NO declaration of the manipulation.

An Affirmative Action hiring policy for Arabs, you might say.

No kidding. It's not like the original picture is so tame...
