3. Actions that denote future meaning is expressed by Infinitive. That is, to refer to the future, headlines often use the infinitive.

QUEEN TO VISIT SAMOA PM TO ANNOUNCE CABINET CHANGES ON TUESDAY
Passive sentences are constructed with no auxiliary verb, just the past participle. MAN HELD BY POLICE IN MURDER HUNT (= A man is being held…) NUNS KILLED IN EXPLOSION
Headlines like these are sometimes easy to misunderstand. For instance, BLACK TEENAGERS ATTACKED IN RACE RIOT means that the teenagers were attacked, not that they attacked somebody. If the black teenagers did the attacking, the headline would probably use the simple present tense (BLACK TEEN­AGERS ATTACK . . .).
