Mortar attack on Baghdad prison

Attackers believed to be insurgents fired 12 mortar rounds into Baghdad's main prison Tuesday, killing 22 prisoners and injuring 92, the U.S. military said.
Who writes this stuff? “Believed to be insurgents” Is there a long list of other possibilities?

FWIW, it seems to me that over the past few weeks, references to “Saddam loyalists” have pretty much dried up and “insurgents” has taken its place.

That's because it's no longer a war, it's a rebellion.

Well ya know, it's kinda sorta like saying Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold allegedly caused the deaths and destruction at Columbine five years ago today...
