BBC Publishes Item to the 4th Degree

I found this little bit here, in a BBC report:-

Mr Injaz was reported to have been armed with a pistol, but this was later found to have been a toy gun, police told Israel's Channel 10 TV, news agency Reuters reported.


Pay attention, please:

police - original source

Israel's Channel 10 TV - second source

news agency Reuters - third source

and the BBC - the media consumer's fourth source

So, it seems the news is hard to come by or it comes the hard, roundabout way.


Oh, by the way, the event described above took place in...

...the British Embassy in Tel Aviv.

What, the BBC lacks for news sources even in their own backyard?
