Is it "armed" you don't like, or "insurgents"- in terms of the words?

If memory is correct, the use of insurgents began with Reuters and BBC. Then the rest of MSM picked up the term.

Reminds me of those who strap on a bomb, kill themselves and innocents. This event is labeled as having been done by a suicide bomber. The word murderer or terrorist is always conveniently omitted by the entire media.
