LA Times Forgets To Mention Fatah's Responsibility For Today's Suicide Bombing

Here's a fun game for JBloggers to play. How many articles from major news outlets can you find that correctly link the Al Aqsa Brigades to this morning's suicide bombing but that fail to mention that they are members of President Abbas's Fatah party? We'll start everybody off, with Richard Boudreaux's report for the Los Angeles Times.

The goal is an article that totally fails to note that the "moderate" Palestinian party was involved in this morning's bombing. It's not as easy as it sounds, because you can't just exclude Fatah from the search terms (ie Google News: "eilat 'al aqsa' -fatah") - all of the articles also mention tensions between Hamas and Fatah, so you don't get anything. But we're sure that there are tons of other articles out there like this. Because really - why should anyone need that kind of information? It'll just obscure the main point, which as we all know is: it's all Israel's fault
