This was one of the headlines on CNA news today.
Aside from questioning the validity of the news, a more obvious question to ask is: what has the picture got to do with the news?!! Why do you think they have chosen this picture, which is totally irrelevant to the content of the report? This is the kind of picture that I imagine seeing during an induction course to London life, or in a journal of a rural tourist who may find such a busy street scene an obscure sight, but to place it together with a report on an alleged Al-Qaeda terrorist ploy..?!
Mainstream news is always making use of visuals to mislead and stir up emotions in people to serve an intended purpose.

what do you suppose was the "...intended purpose..." of the photo then?
