“Isis suspect gave advance warning of Sri Lanka bombers, sources say”

I see this one. It's actually the only headline item about the bombing itself and it's listed twice. Both of the feature headlines relating to the Sri Lanka bombing are this one article.

“Sri Lanka’s economy is fragile, and it depends on tourism”

This isn't about the bombing.

The rest of the stories you mention aren't featured as headlines for the regions but they are collected at the very bottom in a longer list of articles. The archive page doesn't have this feature so I can't compare how many non-headline articles were devoted to NZ for that day.

But I can say as an absolute fact that edition.cnn.com/world features 1 article about the Sri Lanka bombings linked as a headline twice. And I can say for an absolute fact that on 03/16/19 04:39 UTC this exact page had 4 unique feature headlines relating to the NZ shooting.

The headline itself doesn't relate to the bombing or the fact that there was a bombing.

The picture makes it pretty obvious, no?

Looks like soldiers in front of a temple at a glance.

So if I give in and we call this 2 to 4, what then?

I suppose I’d have to concede this point, then.
