Is it ok to show pictures depicting fatalities from a terrorist attack on the front page of newspapers? Just seen the front page of the Mirror and its got a pretty good close-up of dead policemen from the attacks on the Sri Lankan cricket team.

It depends who’s died and who's writing the paper.

I find it funny why you won’t see many decomposing bodies from the Congo, Burma, Palestine or any other "terrorist" hotspots on the front pages.

Wonder why that is?

well as long as they aren't dead Palestinians that is, as it isn't news that the Israeli's are butchering them again..
