Headline/story dissonance

Thheadline is The new martyrs go global.

GLOBAL -- got that?

What's the article about?
THE GEOGRAPHIC spread of suicide attacks, which reached the Jordanian capital of Amman last week, tells an alarming tale: Unlike the suicide bombers of the '80s and '90s, the grievances motivating today's bombers are less concrete and more virtual and vicarious. To curb the recent spate of suicide missions we must understand this fundamental shift in the causes that give rise to human bombs.
Oh, no! They've moved from Iraq to Jordan! Run away! Run away!

That's going global? They're killing their own people in the name of Islam. They can't take on the Americans or even the Iraqis anymore, so they move next door. Zarqawi seems to lack a global vision.
