Nice catch by shacknews. With websites like Australian News and DailyMail picking up on the “terrorist representation” of a decimated Washington DC, it is ironic that the image was taken from concept art for Fallout 3, the game.
The submitter has been on the front page of Digg 32 times, but submits a lot. This one got buried in the mix, which is a pity since it really was a nice piece of news about the news.
Original Description:
A piece of concept art of a decimated Washington, D.C. from Bethesda Softworks post-apocalyptic RPG Fallout 3 (PC, PS3, 360) has been circulated through a handful of news publications, reported as terrorist propaganda after an intelligence contractor said the image was used in al Qaeda-related videos.
