Correction: Philippine terror suspect story

Published June 14, 2014 11:03am ET



MANILA, Philippines (AP) — In a June 11 story about the capture of Khair Mundos, a top commander of the Abu Sayyaf extremist group in the Philippines, The Associated Press erroneously reported that the U.S. State Department had in 2009 announced a $500,000 reward for Mundos’ killing or capture. That information was picked up from an erroneous Washington-datelined story from May 26, 2009. The reward was for information that leads to his location, arrest or conviction, not his killing.
