From the eagle-eyed HonestReporting-Canada blog, Headlines & Deadlines: Anyone reading an AP update on Gaza’s civil war in the Victoria Times Colonist might have been surprised to see the T-word appear twice in the middle of the report:
After nightfall, the Hamas terrorists attacked the house with grenades and at least 12 rockets, killing the security officer, according to witnesses and Fatah official Tawfiq Abu Khoussa, who called the assault “criminal murder.”
“The persistent clashes — large-scale confrontations that began in Gaza a month ago — are a result of the intensifying power struggle between the Islamic terrorist Hamas and the Fatah movement led by moderate President Mahmoud Abbas.
Other CanWest papers, like the Regina Leader Post and the Saskatoon Star Phoenix stated:

CanWest papers toy around with “terror?” Hmmmmm.
