Photoshopped picture with Clinton removedIt is the image that has come to define a pivotal point in history, capturing the moment the deadly raid on Osama Bin Laden's lair was watched in awe by the White House elite.
But it appears for one U.S. newspaper, a couple of the people sat with President Barack Obama in the Situation Room that day were not quite elite enough.
Brooklyn-based Hasidic newspaper Der Zeitung printed a story this week with a subtly manipulated version of the historic image - all the men in the photograph remain untouched but the two women in the picture have been photoshopped out.
The newspaper, which is written in Yiddish and serves a small part of the area's ultra-orthodox Jewish community, removed the women because of religious issues regarding female modesty but the real is more likely their objection to women holding positions of power.
Original photo with Clinton
This is not the first such instance. In 2009 an Israeli newspapers aimed at ultra-Orthodox Jewish readers photoshopped the inaugural photograph of the Israeli Cabinet - by erasing the two female ministers Limor Livnat and Sofa Landver.
