Britain - BBC Aiding Palestinian Terrorists

Here's how the Guardian/AP report this story.

Palestinian Gunmen Kidnap Two Teachers

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Palestinian gunmen abducted two foreign teachers from an American school as they were driving north of Gaza City on Wednesday, witnesses said.

Note they are merely "gunmen" and not terroritsts, so the Guardian/AP gives the Palestinians some cover as well.

Here's how Yahoo/Reuters reports the same story.

Gaza gunmen kidnap foreign teachers

So, from their headline you wouldn't know they were Palestinian terrorists but you would have to infer that from the reference to Gaza. It's not until you read the story that you learn they are Palestinian.

How does the BBC report the same story?

Foreign teachers seized in Gaza

The BBC uses the same Gaza reference but drops any reference to Palestinian or gunmen. Heh, maybe they were seized by the police or some other legitimate authority. Move along nothing to see here, just some unruly teachers. But just in case you do read past the headline, here is what you get:

Two foreign teachers have been kidnapped in the Gaza Strip by unidentified gunmen, Palestinian witnesses have said.

Er, shouldn't that be "unidentified Palestinian gunmen"?

Note how all three stories say all the hostages kidnapped recently have been released unharmed. Well that's ok then, isn't it? Such nice people, these Palestinian terrorists, er, I mean gunmen.
