Correction: EU-Iran-Opposition story (AP)

 

Published 1/29/2009 at Yahoo! News: Politics News

AP - In a Jan. 27 story about the European Union lifting a ban on an Iranian opposition group, The Associated Press incorrectly described Camp Ashraf as U.S.-run, and wrongly said Iraq seeks to deport thousands of former Iranian fighters held there. The U.S. controlled Camp Ashraf from 2003 until Jan. 1 when it was turned over to Iraq. Top Iraqi officials said this month that none of the Iranians would be forcibly returned to Iran. (link)
