What I found contradicted the assertion made on this thread that they didn't use the word. Are you sure you just didn't misunderstand the original assertion? It wasn't that the word "terrorist" never, ever appears in Reuters stories. It was that Reuters refuses to call these attacks "terrorist attacks", and these attackers, "terrorists," unless they are quoting somebody, or putting "terrorist" in scare quotes, or referring to "what the Bush Administration calls 'the war on terror'". They refuse to write "A massive terrorist attack killed 200 people in Madrid" or "terrorists killed 200 people in Madrid". Instead, an "attack" occurred which was perpetrated by "guerillas" or "militants".
