It's spot the missing words time again

The BBC's report on the trial of Faisal Shahzad manages to include the word terrorist which is I suppose a star. However whilst it reports several of Shahzad's remarks, including "war with the Muslims has just begun", "We don't accept your democracy or your freedom" and "Muslims don't abide by human laws", it manages to miss one key soundbite that The Telegraph didn't -
'Before being sentenced a defiant Mr Shahzad, who described himself as a "Muslim solider", delivered a warning to the judge, Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum.

"Brace yourselves because the war with the Muslims has just begun," he said.'

I would have thought that 'Muslim soldier' was the sort of short, pithy soundbite that the the BBC likes, but not in this case... I wonder why?
