And your point is?

Sometimes (ok, most of the time) I think the news-media cheers for bad news. Check out this story on CTV.

...Italian police released more details Monday about the man nabbed in Rome in connection with the July 21 failed attacks on London's transit system.
The Ethiopian-born British citizen Osman Hussain, also known as Hamdi Isaac, has a brother living in Canada, according to Italian police.

Police say Abdulahai Isaac, one of the suspect's four brothers, traveled from Italy to Canada in 1996. He was reportedly given landed immigrant status as a political refugee.
Officials did not say whether Abdulahai Isaac was under investigation.

The video leads with "The failed bombings on the London Tube last month may have a Canadian connection."

Did it all of sudden become illegal to be related to a terrorist? Isn't this a little irresponsible. It would be one thing if the Italian Police connected the brother directly but at this point they haven't. Until such time it really shouldn't be reported.
