The Ottawa Citizen
October 5, 2001 Friday Final EDITION
An article on page B1 of the Sept. 29 edition of the Citizen contained erroneous information about Saudi businessman Mohammed Hussein Al-Amoudi. Contrary to assertions in the article, Mr. Al-Amoudi was not appointed to head the National Commercial Bank, a private Saudi bank founded by Khalid bin Mahfouz; Mr. Al-Amoudi has no ownership interest in the port facilities in Yemen where the USS Cole was bombed; and he is not, and never has been an investor in Sudan's El-Shifa pharmaceutical plant, which was destroyed by U.S. missiles. The Citizen apologizes to Mr. Al-Amoudi for any embarrassment or distress caused by this article. |
