XML FeedsNew York Times - Whats going on ?

I start my day with news.google.com.
Today I opened and came across - Sri Lankan Journalist Gets 20-Year Jail Term.
Surprisingly and funny - this caught my eyes.
Of course, I understand, Google 'Feeds in' the news from various channels. So it wouldn't be their problem.
So I went ahead to the original source - None other than New York Times.
The first reason I tried to convince myself was :
- It's a mistake and by chance. or
- I will leave the other possible doubts to the readers of this post since expressing that gets murky
But I could not convince myself with that reason considering their (NYTimes) reputation:
The very likely reason could be:
- if Pakistan, Islamabad are shown in the news, the readership visits and reading the article will shoot up by 1000%. Thats the only possible reason which convinces me right now. A common American knows only India and Pakistan, rather they have been branded such - NEED TO KNOW basis strategy. That also adds value to my reason.
Thats it for now.
Enjoy Life.
