MORE BBC BIAS

Two BBC headlines
1) Jews Held Over Jerusalem 'Bomb'
2) Man admits to grenade in luggage

In the second article, the religion of Hazil Rahaman-Alan -- who admitted smuggling an explosive device onto an plane for the purpose of blowing himself up 'to draw attention to the plight of others' -- is not mentioned in the entire article.

While one might argue that 'Jews' is helpful in the first headline to indicate the suspects were not Palestinians, the term 'Israelis' would have done just fine.
