If not, they're terrorists. In this case, I think there's a special rule in the style guide about making sure to call them terrorists when the victims are British, so as to avoid complaints. It's become obvious over the years that many rules in the editorial policy are concerned more with avoiding complaints (particularly with appearing to support the Zionist entity) than with accuracy or clarity.David Preisernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-28443960211554414752015-06-27T10:24:18.889+01:002015-06-27T10:24:18.889+01:00Frank Gardner believes that "world condemnati...Frank Gardner believes that "world condemnation" may make the problem worse !

(In other words, we don't care to much if they are killing Israelis, other Arabs, African villagers, Middle East Christians etc - then we call them "militants".
