So, your initial impetus was curiosity, but then after looking at the pictures for a while your feelings turn to sadness/discomfort for the victims?
Ideally in this situation, if you wanted to sate your curiosity, the "highest STO" output of the action would be then to send love/light to the victims and the aggressors, recognizing their reality as Creators so hopefully in their next incarnation they don't make the same "mistakes". If it makes you feel bad to look at them, then the overall net gain is not positive, because you are contributing more bad feelings to the situation.
The other advice in the thread is equally good. Of course there is no right or wrong. But there is eternally a "better" way, and as long as we search for that, we'll always find it. You can use this catalyst in a positive way, for sure - the actions you are taking are not negative!! Just the consequences are (you feeling bad). If you can find a place of balance where you can look on such distressing pictures of gore with love, then you have achieved what I would guess you initially set out to do when you started looking at the pictures - to try to "erase"/"alleviate" some of the negativity instead of adding to it.
