Is this fair journalism?

Kenya airport fire first responders looted banks, ABM


Police guarding the site attempted to a take a safe from the burned-out arrivals hall, officials say

First responders to a massive airport fire in Nairobi looted electronics and banks during and after the blaze, officials said.

Jomo Kenyatta International Airport was forced to close on Wednesday after a fire swept through the international arrivals building. The cause of the fire has not yet been announced, but investigators have ruled out terrorism. The FBI have been assisting with investigations.

Officials in Kenya told the Associated Press that first responders stole electronics and money from an ABM. Another official said that police guarding the site overnight attempted to a take a safe from a bank in the burned-out arrivals hall, which also houses several foreign currency exchange shops.

All four officials who described the alleged looting are close to the investigation. They insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to share the information before the investigation is complete.

The criminal investigations policeman for the airport, Joseph Ngisa, said he has not received formal complaints of theft and that police are waiting for affected institutions to report what they lost in the fire.

If it is true then it should be fair.

Firstly, the headline is actually grammatically incorrect, and should read something like this (or better):

"First Responders Accused of Allegedly Looting Banks after Fire in Kenyan Airport"

But all-in-all, it seems that they're simply relaying the accusation --- ah not really seeing the bias in this particular piece.
The dumbest people on earth are generally located in comment sections of websites all over the world.
