How coverage breaks down

Here we have two posts, the first is from a US media organization and the second is from Aljazeera. The facts are the same but you seems to get a different impression. I do know that this is a minor point considering the debacles i have seen before including the .50 cal incident, and its really semantics, but if you let the little stuff go, the larger stuff is just that much easier. The thing i am nothing here is the use of alleged. Al describes the attacks as alleged when he has admitted to doing them, was seen doing them, and was convicted. Its not really alleged. He even said he would do it again. Alleged...my ass.
