(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - The BBC has published an apology regarding coverage of the terror attack in Jerusalem on Friday. The initial headline was: "Three Palestinians killed after deadly stabbing in Jerusalem" - making no mention of the three Palestinian terrorists or that border policewoman Hadas Malka was murdered in the attack. In response to the widespread outcry, the BBC said, "We accept that our original headline did not appropriately reflect the nature of the events and subsequently changed it. Whilst there was no intention to mislead our audiences, we regret any offense caused." The headline was only changed after strong protest from the Israel Foreign Ministry and the Israeli Ambassador in London, Mark Regev. The two sharply criticized the network for refusing to use the word "terror" when it comes to attacks against Israelis.
