Marsh responds to NY Post story on "evil eye" ads

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Marsh & McLennan Companies said it was outraged by a New York Post story in which critics of an advertising campaign by the insurance broker say models in the ads appear to have reflections of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in their eyes.

"As a company that lost 355 colleagues in the 9/11 terror attacks, Marsh is outraged that the New York Post would run a story designed to resurrect the pain and anguish experienced by Marsh colleagues," the company said in a statement.

The June 11 newspaper article quotes relatives of people who died in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center as saying the reflections look like the towers.
