Mahmoud Mohammad Issa Mohammad

Mahmoud Mohammad Issa Mohammad is a former PFLP member convicted for an attack that killed a man, whom press coverage for decades called a terrorist. Through 2010 the opening cited headlines calling him a "terrorist" and stated that "when his militant history was discovered in December 1988," Canadian authorities began deportation proceedings. Today's opening never calls him a terrorist, describing him only as a "former member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine who took part in an attack that killed a man," though the word survives 27 times elsewhere in the article. A reader arriving now does not learn from the opening that he was widely described as a convicted terrorist.
