Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula

Portion used

Full photo; the image is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.

Low resolution?

Yes, thus it's not suitable for production of counterfeit goods.

Purpose of use

This image unique and is of a highly historical significance and value. It also illustrates an image of members of AQAP, a subject of public interest. The significance of the image is to help the reader identify the situation, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about it, and illustrate the intended message in a way that words alone could not convey.

Replaceable?

Not replaceable. This footage was taken by members of a terrorist group and no background information is known of this picture besides what is shown. It belongs to an international illegal militant organization, and such pictures are typically not covered by copyright law (as they cannot legally copyright their material) and therefore it doesn't need fair use. It has no copyright.
