It is a problem though. We shouldn't become desensitized to daily headlines of explosions and assassinations in broad daylight because only a few hundred people are killed each year.
That shit will never be normal.

it's not supposed to be normal
but when you report in one country with very different dynamics about another country you probably want to not put anything which needs additional context in the headlines because people way to often only read headlines
honestly preferable there shouldn't be a headline, but that just doesn't work, I mean how do you know if the topic might be of interest of there is no longer a headline telling you about the topic
I said that it's misleading if put in the title in international because people only read the title and put it into context with their expectation.
And in many counties the implicit reading would be "gang tires to kill people with bomb" which makes it look like Sweaden is falling apart
both of which just isn't the case
so I'm the title speaking about residental explosions and then in the body exploding properly what that means makes a lot of sense
