Sun to sue terror attack involvee
The Sun newspaper is considering bringing a lawsuit against a man who appeared on its front page under what the tabloid claims are false pretences.
The man, who cannot be named until his citizenry profile has been checked by the forces of law and order and anti-terrorism and anti-fraud and identity verification and immigration control and TV license monitoring, was involved in a recent terrorist attack.
Although the man's status is now being questioned, he was originally considered a victim of the terror attack, which is thought to have been the work of terrorists.
The man's health care was privately insured, so he was one of the first to be taken out of the stricken Underground carriage in which the terrorist terror attack occurred.
As he emerged from the station, Sun photographer Trev Noblett took his picture, which later appeared on the newspaper's front page. The image of the injured and blood-soaked man being asked "How do you feel?" by a BBC reporter became known as an iconic moment in the tragic history of the terrorist attack terror.
"This photograph epitomises everything the British media are proud of," said media expert Bradley Ichneumon at the time. "It has drama, it has colour, it has human interest, it has Britishness. It has 'uniquely British' written all over it, and in the most eloquent of international languages - blood."
The later revelation that the man in the photograph was Australian was reported by the Sun in its inside pages.
Now the tabloid is saying that the man has brought its reportage into disrepute by making pro-terroristic statements and criticising the Government's handling of the terror crisis caused by the terrorists' terror attack terror.
The man has blamed Government policy for acts of terrorist terror, and has called the terrorists "victims", a Sun editorial said today.
"Terrorists are not victims. And neither is he," the editorial continued, utilising capital letters. "His blood-soaked face is not a badge of British courage but a mark of Cain. And should be treated that way."
