    I’m sure once the paper gets ahold of the terrorists PR team for a quote, they’ll say they killed 5 infidels and had 2 martyrs.

    But for now, it’s the government giving the quote, and they’re saying they killed 2 terrorists, and had 5 martyrs.

    Editing to add: I don’t see martyr as a loaded term. It’s an honorific about someone’s death, when other words fail. It’s just a colloquial use of the word.
