So killed = victim. What dictionary are they using?

Shows the total moral bankruptcy of the liberal media.
I'm surprised these people have the discernment to make it through a single day without falling out a window or walking into traffic.
Either they are totally stupid or they just sympathize with evil.

Just shows how fundamentally corrupt Roto-Reuters is.

Just shows how fundamentally corrupt Roto-Reuters is. Do you think the terrorists weren't killed when those airplanes stuck the WTC, Pentagon, ground?
Are they still alive?

Be much better to be able to count Reuters as among those killed on account of 9/11.
I doubt if they share that value judgment, but that's because they're all punks.

According to Wikipedia:
There were 2,973 fatalities, not including the 19 hijackers: 246 on the four planes.

Ask Reuters, and they would probably tell you that their preference is to see it as 2973 murderers wantonly killing 19 victims, by getting in the way of the planes they hijacked.

Technically speaking, they were additional fatalities, not victims.
When a murderer ends up dead in the course of committing his crime, only the murdered are victims.
Shouldn't matter how hard the Scribes (and Pharisees) in the media try to water down the term, it still has a proper meaning.

Reuters said killed. They did not use the term, victims.
Do you contend the hijackers were not killed on 9/11?

No, but I will contend they weren't killed soon enough.
I read too many intervening posts to remember that "victim' wasn't in the Reuter's quote, but was used frequently afterward.
Lost track. Sorry.

No, they said "when hijacked plane attacks killed 2,992 people". Typically, one does not count the assailants in the total "killed".

It seems Reuters is counting the terrorists--or should that be "freedom fighters"?--among the victims of 9/11. Just like the Headlines, "Six killed in shooting at Utah mall" (Boston Herald) or "Six dead after Utah mall rampage"(USA Today), number six was of course the deranged Jihadi who had killed the other five.
Or when the Brady Bunch counts the gang bangers shot by police as victims of "gun violence".
