Telegraph story claiming SITE was "red-faced" after Fallout 3 al-Qaeda gaff vanishes following "legal wrangling"

VG247: British newspaper the Daily Telegraph has seemingly removed a story from its website claiming extremist monitoring agency SITE was left "red-faced" after it circulated a piece of Fallout 3 art as al-Qaeda propaganda.

The original story URL now brings up a 404 error.

Videogaming247.com has been told by Telegraph editorial staff this morning that "lots of legal wrangling" took place overnight after SITE issued a statement claiming the story was "entirely false."
