They didn't say it was "apparently an attack", they said it was "apparently set off by suicide bombers". The word apparently is listed in the style guide as what to use when absolute confirmation of a story has not been received. It is used much the same as the word alleged is used to describe a suspect who has not been convicted. It has nothing to do with bias, and there are many stories out there with the words alleged or apparently have been applied when acts are attributed to the Israelis.
It is tragic that these bombers continue to kill innocents, but your anger would be better directed at the greed and politics behind the continued massacres than at the media for reporting it.
