Haaretz "Speculates"

There was a terror attack in Tel Aviv but Haaretz prefers to "speculate":-

Two trucks plowed down a busy street in Tel Aviv on Sunday morning, crashing into a bus, several vehicles and a number of pedestrians.   The drivers then sped off, leaving behind at least five casualties, one of them in critical condition. The driver of one of the trucks has been arrested.

There were immediate speculations that the incident was an attempted terrorist attack.



Yes, two trucks involved.  Two, not one errant driver.

Yes, a bus, several vehicals and pedestrians - not one or two.

Yes, sped off.

But Haaretz "speculates".

And what do you speculate about Haaretz?


UPDATE

Police have arrested a second suspect in Sunday morning's driving attack on Tel Aviv pedestrians. The second suspect, a resident of the Arab village of Arara, was traveling in tandem with the driver of the truck that conducted the attack in a separate vehicle, and was said to have assisted the driver.


A police spokesperson told Israel Radio that there was “little doubt” at this point that the incident Sunday morning, in the Hatikvah neighborhood of Tel Aviv, was a terror attack. One person was killed and 13 were injured in the attack. Two of them are in serious condition. The truck hit pedestrians and parked cars on the sidewalk of Bar Lev Street in the area over a distance of two kilometers, police said.
