Will the UK Telegraph issue a retraction for blaming islamic jihadists?

First of all I would like to express my deepest sympathies to all those affected by these 2 horrible atrocities.

Whenever something like this happens media outlets are quick to jump to conclusions and play the blame game - potentially inflaming an already tense situation.

The Telegraph trotted out an Islamic jihad expert pretty soon after the Oslo bombings to lay the blame squarely on some form of Islamic militant group or other.

LinkThe Guardian has got a far more sensible interpretation.

Turns out now that the bombings were the work of an islam hating ultra right winger. See the news from a Norwegian source.

The telegraph needs to issue a full retraction and stop employing so called experts to write silly pieces for them.
