Because it's not even remotely notable and much of the article was about literal bombs. Would they write "within ten minutes they retrieved an old wrench"? Because, barring additional details, that's exactly the same in my American mind.
- detaro 8y agoMaybe because they found a knive and not a wrench as the first somewhat interesting thing? It's not clear to me they intentionally highlighted the knife because it was a knife, or just because that's what they found.
- hfdgiutdryg 8y agoas the first somewhat interesting thing? But it's not interesting, that's the point. Obviously it is* interesting to the author, because it's a dangerous weapon, just like the explosives are dangerous weapons. That, again, is the point.
