How do I retrieve photos from a Facebook group using the GraphAPI?

Question

I would like to retrieve photos from a facebook group using the GraphAPI. Based on FB Docs I don\'t see any connections to photos. I would like to get the photos and the users w

I don't think Albums in groups R treated like albums on Profile pages. The pics have aid ="0" Even if they are part of albums.

I used The Image below:

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151350034089218 is the link to the image. And you can guess where I got the object_ID.

In this example 10151350034089218 is the object_ID for an image in an album for my group "T_Group" The link to the group is https://www.facebook.com/groups/217697621700825/.

You can then run the FQL query

SELECT aid 
  FROM photo 
 WHERE object_id = 10151350034089218

you'll get

aid
====
0

Even though it is part of an album "Hugh Laurie".

I tried the same FQL query with images in albums on my profile and they always returned an aid with some Number other than 0.

I plan on posting to Facebook bugs, I hope I get a fix. Unless its running as intended.

I tried:

SELECT pid 
  FROM photo_tag 
 WHERE subject =217697621700825

...and I got PIDs to photos posted to the group page not images in albums.
