NYT Retracts Claims Iran "Sponsored" 9/11 Attacks

The New York Times made a retraction to a June 29 story: [nytimes.com]

Correction: July 6, 2017
An article on Friday about a jury’s decision to let the federal government seize a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper it says is controlled by Iran overstated Iran’s responsibility for the Sept. 11 attacks. While a federal court found that Iran had some culpability for the Sept. 11 attacks as a state sponsor of terrorism, it has not been established that Iran sponsored the attacks, which were planned and executed by Al Qaeda. (A similar error occurred in a Sept. 25, 2013 article in The Times.)

A similar retraction was added to the webpage of the 2013 article. [nytimes.com]
