Today a female Palestinian suicide bomber killed 2 Israeli police officers and wounded 16 civilians by detonating a bomb at a crowded Jerusalem bus stop.
Associated Press is describing the casualites this way:
A Palestinian teenager blew herself up at a busy Jerusalem bus station Wednesday, killing two Israeli policemen who stopped her for a security check and wounding 16 bystanders …
The wounded were not ‘bystanders’ — they were undeniably the intended target of the terrorist. We dealt with this issue some time ago, and in fact AP stopped using the misleading term for the past year or so, in response to criticism. Why has it returned?
