Re the refinery and employees taken hostage in Algeria, two Canadians were thought to be amongst the terrorists and apparently they were I.D.'d by passports which were also speculated to be forgeries.
All this aside, I have to object to CNN’s banner ‘Canadian terrorists’ responsible for this terrorist act. Tabloid level of news reporting.
CNN…“most trusted news source”?
All I can think of is the terrorists for a free Nova Scotia from Archer…
I don’t get it? Are you arguing the two weren’t Canadians, or you just don’t like CNN reporting them as such?
Was it a Canadian terrorist group, or a terrorist group that had two Canadian members? The headline suggests the former, not the latter.
Until it’s clear that the passports aren’t forgeries (and not stolen) it’s not clear that the terrorists are Canadian.
"Canadian Terrorists’ doesn’t really suggest anything, other then that what’s being discussed involves Canadian terrorists. It doesn’t even suggest that a group existed, never mind that it was completely made up of Canadians.
News banners are limited to a few words. Criticizing them for not giving the whole story is silly. If you want to find out what they’re talking about, your supposed to listen to the news program.
What exactly did the banner read?
Blame Canada.
Why am I not surprised when I see a pit thread which boils down to “x has given incomplete information on a subject” and I read it and say “I have no idea what you’re complaining about. Perhaps you can provide more complete information?”
Holy crap, we’re been harassed by a Canadian drone.
I, too, cannot believe that every headline is not absolutely perfect and exactly the way I would like it to be.
Except to put a far more ominous spin on the Great Canadian Syrup Theft a while back…
Darth Panda ya slay me! 
Czarcasm got what I meant…sorry for not being clearer with my gripe
Terrorists who could be from anywhere, but happen to be Canadian, alleged to be responsible…
I assume this was a banner on TV that you saw? Can’t find anything on the website.
Canadian Terrorist Sketch
A couple seated in a restaurant ordering breakfast.
Waitress list specials for the day, including “Canadian Bacon”
Two guys walk past and one of them says “You know it’s only ham, eh?”
Somewhere in the background someone drops a plate.

I agree. News outlets should take great care before alleging that terrorists are Canadian. The terrorists are entitled to their day in court and the opportunity to prove they are not any of the things they are alleged to have been, including Canadian.
Canadian Terrorists.
Sounds like the next great reality TV show.
Hockey
Beer
Aboot Canadjuns, eh?
Up to no good in the Frozen North.
I assume they would be very friendly terrorist, right?
Yeah, but they tip shittily.
What about that Canadian who beheaded the guy sitting next to him on the bus? I tell ya, when I see a Canadian nowadays, I shoot first and ask questions later.
