Previously from Reuters:
ATTENTION EDITORS: As a precautionary measure, Reuters has decided to withdraw all photos taken by freelancer Adnan Hajj after discovering in the last 24 hours that he altered two photographs since the beginning of the conflict between Israel and the Lebanese group Hizbollah. The first, a photograph of the aftermath of an Israeli air strike on Beirut which ran on Aug. 6, 2006, was withdrawn yesterday. At that point, Reuters terminated its relationship with this freelancer and began an investigation into all his work. Subsequently a second altered photograph was identified, of an Israeli F-16 warplane in action over Lebanon that ran on Aug. 2, 2006. Reuters has tightened its editing procedure for photographs of the conflict and regrets any inconvenience caused.

The Yahoo link doesn't seem to work anymore
Cheers Jonz - it seems to have vanished. I know that Yahoo picture links are sometimes transitory but I can't find it anywhere now. Curiouser and curiouser...
