Arson and Chretien

Utterly confusing headline over at the CBC:
‘Arson damages hotel linked to Chrétien’.

And here I am, thinking that Chrétien (Canada’s former prime minister) was behind the fire. Apparently I was reading the headline like this: ‘(Arson Damage) linked to Chretien’. Which clearly isn’t right.

English is so confusing sometimes.
