#2 In a series of attacks the bad guys managed to kill only 9 (and, of course, a drone)? They don't seem to be very effective these days!

#4 Can't use the word "fighting" without the ajectives "rages", "surges", "swells", ....

#7 Well, the source of the article IS Al-Jizz, so I can't see where anybody would be surprised at the slant.

#8 P.S. - Isn't it nice how closely the website layout mimics their copropagandists at al-Beeb?

#9 Wasn't Al Jazeera a BBC start-up that was later spun off? That would explain layout and other similarities.

#10 probably had help in setting it up - consider it an anti-western journalistic reach-around

#11 Al Jizz used to be the BBC Arabic service, IIRC. Makes perfect sense they'd be swapping spit - and other bodily fluids.
