In two articles published last year ("Cyanide fear triggered terror raid" and "Bomb suspect 'shot without warning'", June 4) we stated that government officials had said Abul Koyair, the brother of Abdul Kahar (who was shot by police when they raided the family home on June 2) had a number of criminal convictions and that their parents had gone on a planned holiday despite what had happened to their sons. We now understand, and accept, that that information was not true, that the decision to raid the family's home was based on false intelligence and that the family have never been involved in terrorism. We apologise for any embarrassment caused. Link
