It's in the New York Times, and comes from Getty Images. The photographer is an AP stringer named Thir Kahn.
The caption claims this to be a missile. It is not a Hellfire missile. It is an old artillery shell. Someone set it up there, and took a picture of it. Then it was labeled a "missile," either by the people on the scene, the photographer, or whatever bloody butt-ignorant media idiot back here in the U.S. wrote that caption. I expect at some point the caption will be corrected, and then we are left with wondering what the hell an intact artillery shell was doing in this house.
Am I going too fast for you? If you had any capacity for analysis you might realize that this is about the third example of crap information off this story, and someone who did have a capacity for analysis might realize that someone is playing fast and loose with this story.
