Corrective: Germany-Terror Story
September 5, 2007
NEW YORK – In a Sept. 5 story about the arrest of three terror suspects in Germany, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Defense Minister Franz Josef Jung specifically mentioned the U.S. Ramstein Air Base and Frankfurt’s international airport as targets. In response to a reporter’s question mentioning the airport and base, Jung confirmed the police operation but declined to provide further details on possible targets. In a news alert on the same story, the AP erroneously reported that German federal prosecutor Monika Harms said the targets were Ramstein and Frankfurt airport. She said U.S. facilities were targeted but did not specify which ones.
