Although, to be fair, fingerprint identification, although a science, is subjective in terms of how an expert interprets the evidence. And this war on terror is being staged in the media's eye, so things that would never have made it into the news years ago are around the world in minutes.

Still, hands up all of you who thought it seemed strangely out of place in terms of all the other evidence found. Good. Some of you were paying attention.
