On 4, 14 and 22 May 2018 B&T published stories about Mr Massoud on the www.bandt.com.au website.

We now acknowledge that the stories contained a number of inaccuracies and that they created an unfair impression of Mr Massoud.

In particular, we were wrong to assert that Mr Massoud had threatened to slit anyone’s throat.

We unreservedly apologise to Mr Massoud for the embarrassment, hurt and distress that the articles caused him and his family.
