Corrections and clarifications

The lead story “Mumbai massacre story unfolds in terrorist’s interrogation” (December 2, 2008, page 1) said, in the third paragraph, that Mohammad Ajmal Amir Iman (wrongly identified earlier as Kamaal and Kasav) began his journey to Mumbai on September 15, 2008, while the fifth paragraph said Iman and the other terrorists were set to leave for Mumbai on September 27. Confusion arose over the two dates mentioned. The clarification is that the terrorists concerned began to leave Muridke, near Lahore, on September 15, travelling in groups of two to Karachi. They were ready to leave Karachi on September 27.

A report “[Condoleezza] Rice compliments India, Pakistan” (December 2, 2008) gave the expansion of NATO as the Northern Atlantic Treaty. It is the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.

The third paragraph in a report “‘Tulpan’ bags Golden Peacock at IFFI” (“Newscape” page, December 3, 2008) was “The Sri Lankan film is based on the life and struggles of the people of Kazakhstan.” It was an editing error. The unedited version said “The award winning film [‘Tulpan’] is based on the life and struggles of the people of Kazakhstan.”

The byline, which was missing, should have said Prakash Kamat (Special Correspondent).
