There is no need to read (1) or (2) -- because (1) is a mere translation of (3), and because (2) emphasizes the psychological ordeals of who lived next to the explosion site. (3) carries just one photo of one place

Quote:

(a) "12 months on much of his office building - around a kilometre away from the epicentre - looks almost the same as it did a day afterwards.

(b) "a year later the blast site is still inaccessible, with a temporary blue metal wall ringing the perimeter.

"Patrolling police prevented journalists getting a closer look, with a SWAT car parked on a highway overlooking the area to discourage anyone from stopping.

"A brand new school next to the site sat empty and businesses were dark and locked, occasional groups of migrant workers the only signs of civilian life on the streets.

My comment: I am certain this is a AFP report because today NDTV has the same report with AFP byline but without the photo gallery.
