The Mirror (UK) misidentifies a man as a suspected terrorist

On 12 August we named Amjad Sarwar (pictured above) as one of the suspects who had been arrested in the recent terrorist plots to blow up numerous
passenger aircraft, and also published his photograph.
We wish to make clear that this suggestion was false, and Mr Sarwar has not been arrested nor questioned in connection with the terrorist plots.
We apologise to Mr Sarwar for the distress and embarrassment caused to him by our publication of these false allegations.

This apology ran on the 19th, a week after the offending story ran.
