It's because they were attacking tourists?

Now that you mention it, it can read like that :(

I still think the title reads as if the tourists made the attack.

It's ambiguous, and as such they should be mocked for it.

however it's a headline, which often gives up clarity for brevity, and it's news.com.au, which obviously doesn't give a shit about good journalism.

also possibly the date has something to do with it as well

Really?

"haha, dead asians"?

I don't think even news.com.au is that retarded.
