IN an article on 3 February 2008 headlined "Evil on benefits" we described Shakil Akhtar as the "treasurer" of a militant Islamic cell responsible for funding terrorism. Mr Akhtar is not involved in the funding of terrorism or a member of a militant cell and we apologise to him for the embarrassment and distress caused by our article.
