Washington - Police on Thursday lamented the fact that a university killer's hate-filled video manifesto was aired by US media.

"I was disappointed in the editorial decision to broadcast these disturbing images," said Virginia police superintendent Steve Flaherty, noting that until recently, only law enforcement professionals would have seen such footage.

"I'm sorry that you all were exposed to these images," he said.

On Wednesday, NBC news received a multi-media package sent by Cho Seung-Hui, a student at Virginia Tech who killed at least 30 people and himself in a bloody shooting spree on Monday.

After first informing the police about package, NBC later aired it ensuring Cho's disturbing diatribe was immediately shown on evening news broadcasts across the country.
