This photo was doctored before it was posted to Reuters. What ever happened to journalistic integrity!?
UPDATE: Rueters has retracted the story and the photo with an apology, so they confirmed that the photo was doctored.

Because the doctored photo contians more "smoke," presumably for the purpose of trying to make a bad situation look even worse.
Plumes of smoke in the doctored photo have repeated billow patterns that were done with the clone stamp tool. They also turned up the color saturation to make the smoke darker (maybe.)
My best guess as to why they did this is because in the News buisness they like to say "the redder the better." Redder referring to the blood and violence in a story.
