I suspect that it's expected to be understood that headlines without qualifiers (i.e., "4 Bombings Kill 157 People in Baghdad") apply to citizens either in or very close to the country publishing the headline.
You know, real people.
(Still kind of surprised that the whole "worst massacre" thing is kind of glossing over the Oklahoma City Bombing. Perhaps massacre no longer applies unless hand-held weapons are involved; I'm sure the dictionaries will be updated to reflect this.)
