It seems that images of the two girls, aged 16 and 13, have never been published in Spain and that there is a Spanish law prohibiting such photographs. After lobbying the State Department to remove the photo, the Spanish government ordered state-owned Spanish news agency EFE not to distribute it.

For one thing, nothing digital ever dies. And so, the photo lives on, almost certainly generating more scrutiny that it ever would have if it had just been left alone. Before it was censored, the photo appeared in a few newspapers in the girls' home country, prompting interest mainly because Spaniards had never seen images of them before. Both were adorned all in black, with the older one sporting heavy black eyeliner and black combat-style boots - a style that in Spain, as in the United States, would be characterized as "goth."
