Whether or not it's wrong, I'd say that it's entirely expected unfortunately.
It's not particularly surprising if a religious extremist blows himself up in a country with very little capacity to stop him doing so, rampant conflict, and a high rate of such attacks. But when the same thing happens in Germany, a country that has a lot of capacity to stop such attacks, no internal conflict, and very low occurrence of such attacks - that's pretty surprising.
News needs to be new and interesting, otherwise people just won't watch it. It's horrible really when you think about it, because it leans towards placing more value on European lives than African lives, but it just seems to be the result of what the public wants to see.
