    Yes, and when you visit reuters it says that police never identified the object as a bomb or explosive.

    You’ll note that paragraph is the only sourced section in the entire article, and the only sourced claim is “the object was found outside embassy grounds”.

    Everything else is direct from JNS, a Sheldon Adelson media property.

    Meanwhile Israeli-leaning media (The Times of Israel, Haaretz, Jerusalem Post, Fox News) are all reporting it was a bomb that was detonated and using that JNS article as the source.

    This phenomenon is called Laundering Information. Take a wild claim from a fringe source and use it to further your position, even if it’s false. By the time anyone checks it will be a worldwide story.

    As I said, I will wait for confirmation from a source not primarily funded by Sheldon Adelson.

      Sorry, should have checked the source better.

        No worries, more people should be as intellectually honest as you have been today recognizing and admitting a mistake!

          Intellectual honesty would have been to delete the post. At the moment it still has the function you so very well described.
