:O Whatever turns you on, Putty!

>_<

Can I just ask if I'm the only person thinking of this, pretty much every time people mention Libya...?

The FBI has got in the habit of setting up pasties as terrorists so these things should be viewed with caution..

Hmmm ... I wonder if the BBC left something out of the story?

Well what do you know -- they did:

Gunman Shouting 'Allahu Akbar' Kills 2 US Airmen in Germany

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/gunman-shouting-allah-akbar-kills-us-airmen-germany/story?id=13037467

the suspect shouted either "Jihad Jihad" or "Allahu Akbar," sources said.

They don't sound all that similar...
Errr

I suspect he said both.

Probably. But maybe the dodgy sounding sources are why the BBC left it out?
Is possible at least.

The story clearly states that witnesses heard him yelling 'Allahu Akbar' as he attacked. The conflicting reports pertain to what he was yelling as he was being subdued. (Hopefully he also said 'ouch' a few times as they kicked the dogshit out of him.)

I love seeing all the bruises and black eyes in the mugshots after people like this are taken into custody.

This. 'Sources' doesn't necessarily mean eye witnesses, so BBC may have dispelled them as hearsay.

I'd go further & suggest that using the term 'sources' is often a way of printing stuff that the reporter has simply made up.
