The photo was first spotted Monday on Twitter accounts purporting to be run by al Shabab militants (who call themselves “media soldiers”), which have popped up, been shut down, and reopened under new names numerous times since the start of the siege. This makes it impossible to track the first instance in which the image was posted.
