Yes, it probably is him in the photos. So what? If it has already been established that he was part of the student group, then what difference does a photo make?

More importantly, if the point of this article is to prod the western world to wake up to the fact that he is a dangerous madman and has done harm to Americans in the past, wouldnt his recent speeches serve the same purpose?
