Spot the missing word...

The BBC report that:
'Five men have been arrested in London by the Metropolitan Police in relation to a potential threat to Pope Benedict XVI's visit.'
The report has no personal information about the five men other than their ages.

So it was with no surprise that I found The Telegraph headline:
'Pope visit: Five suspected Islamist terrorists arrested over assassination plot'


Other news sources, including The Guardian, report that
'Our crime correspondent Vikram Dodd reports that it is understood the five men arrested are Muslims.... Vikram's sources at the Met have confirmed that some of the five men arrested were Algerian.'

Once again the BBC decide not to mention the 'religion of peace' in adverse circumstances...

Whether this turns out to have been a precautionary arrest of if charges are actually brought against the five street cleaners, their religion is relevant bearing in mind the previous threats against this Pope's life by radical Islam.

  1. 'precautionary arrest' - eh?
    Is rounding up 'all the usual suspects' now part of the famed english justice?
