Apology on war story from `Time'

Washington - Time magazine has apologised over a report about the alleged use of nerve gas during the Vietnam war

Washington - Time magazine has apologised over a report about the alleged use of nerve gas during the Vietnam war. In a full-page apology in its latest edition, Time said the allegations made in the report it published in collaboration with Cable News Network (CNN) were "not supported by the evidence".

The report had alleged that the US military used sarin nerve gas in a 1970 raid aimed at killing US defectors during the Vietnam war. CNN apologised for the report last week. But Ms April Oliver, one of the CNN producers who reported the story and was later sacked, has said CNN "seems to have capitulated at the first onslaught" of criticism against the report.
