Terrorism has always existed in the world. Many people have been killed in holy wars. The Taliban and Al-Qaeda terrorist organisation have done many disastrous things to innocent people. The UN has been consistently dealing with this issue.
On September 11, Al-Qaeda leader, Osama Bin Laden steered 2 planes into the Twin Towers located in New York in the U.S.A. From this point onwards, the word "terrorism" put fear into the hearts of many and Osama Bin Laden became world renowned. .

The headline is extremely aggressive towards the US as is the majority of the article. The dominant discourse in this article is the killing of Iraqi citizens by the U.S. .
WHAT ARE WE LED TO BELIEVE.
These two articles create a binary opposition through the contrast of the terrorists and the US.
