That is not at all 'evident' which is the point of this increasingly odd thread. The article does not make such a claim.

Let me tell you a story about a particular generation of terrorists. Namely the ones born in the 1950's. First and foremost, Osama bin Laden (1957). We all know what he did. Second, Khaled Mashal, the current Hamas leader (1956). Finally, Abbas al Moussawi, one of the founding fathers of Hezbollah (1952).

Many of us know what terrorists born in the 1950's did, but somehow we all miss the fact that they all belong to the same generation. Weird, eh?

A lot of people think they know who Vladimir Putin (1952) is, but how many of them are aware that twenty years ago Putin was involved in the Chechnya war?

In modern reality, I think authors don't have a moral right to not check the perspectives of what they not say, if the article has "hey, look at these russians/americans/asians" vibes, especially when it hits front pages. We are not claiming that thing explodes, we claim that it is potentially misleading for unaware groups. I can't see any warm reason to refuse these clarifications to appear here.

The article doesn't make such a claim, but it also doesn't make a contrary, leaving it to the structure, which feels questionable.
