That doesn't necessarily make it a real photo, the fact that it was used by the AP et.al... Though I was trying to explore the 'epsteins temple' thing in the background... someone suggested it was comms or something, which it could very well be, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a photoshopped building added to the background or something as 'comms'... anyway I wanted to see if the building really existed close enough to be 'naturally' in the photo and it appears that it may be.
However, is the temple that much higher up than the hospital right behind it, which casts a much bigger shadow on satellite indicating it sticks up higher than the temple... yet we don't see it in the photo...
I can't find a hill with a building that has a domed roof anywhere. I'm starting to think that either the building is so recent that it isn't the satellite images that Google and Bing maps have, or else the photo wasn't taken in Kabul?
The Bing and Google satellite pics are quite different, with the Bing images appearing to be higher resolution and more recent.
Nice find! The proportions are correct, and the viewing angle seems to work out.
However, if you go into topographical mode, it doesn't seem to be on a hilltop, and the are much taller hills behind it that aren't too far away, and they are not showing up in the picture.
If it is a photoshop, then (AP Photo/Rahmat Gul) is the one that photoshopped it.
This picture was used by many news outlets including business insider, the Washington Post, the NZ Herald and Yahoo news.

But still, I think you most likely found it.
