BBC on Dead “Martyrs”

The BBC has a story about Israel killing several members of the Al-Aqsa brigade in the Gaza Strip today. The article is currently headlined “Militants killed in Gaza strikes.”

A few hours ago, however, it was headlined,

Gaza strike kills al-Aqsa Martyrs

Thank goodness the BBC is unbiased, unlike that nasty Fox News network here in the United States.

Update:

Ben Regenspan notes that the full title of Al-Aqsa is Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, and that this unfortunate BBC headline was likely an example of poor word choice in abbreviating rather than any pro-Al-Aqsa bias.
