ITN coverage of Bosnia, 1992

In the latest edition of last week' s issue, under the heading "ITN 'may
sue over article'", we reported allegations published in the magazine
Living Marxism which were critical of ITN, News at Ten reporter Penny
Marshall and ITN camera crews.  These allegations related to ITN
coverage of the Trnopolje camp in Bosnia in 1992.  Having investigated
the matter ourselves, we accept that lTN's award-winning reports were
fair and impartial.  We are happy to set the matter straight.

We also repeated the suggestion that ITN's Penny Marshall and Ed
Vulliamy of the Guardian visited the camp at the request of Serbian
leader Radovan Karadzic, who asked them to visit in order to scotch
rumours of Bnsnian-Serb atrocities at the site.  We accept that this was
not the case and regret publishing the claims.
