In this case, they were posting information what was apparently perfectly accurate (except as to the exact age of the girl who was killed in the attack) - per CNN:

   At least nine people, including an 8-year-old girl, have been killed by Tuesday’s pager explosions, Lebanon’s health minister Firass Abiad said in an interview with Al Jazeera. 
And indeed it was quite helpful that they did so, as this particular detail hasn't yet made it into the coverage of the event in major outlets such as the NYT, for some reason.
