That report, published in good faith, was based on a tape recording supplied to one of our Guyana correspondents. In our investigations, we have been unable to verify the authorship of the said tape. Further, we have found no foundation for the allegations contained in the tape recording. We therefore unreservedly withdraw the said story and express regret to all those offended by its contents."
