Iranian arms: The headline on a front-page story in Sunday’s Section A in which U.S. Army Gen. David H. Petraeus discusses the suspected flow of Iranian arms into Iraq was incorrect. The headline said, “Petraeus says Tehran’s pledge to Iraqi officials in August has led to a dip in attacks associated with Shiite militants.” Petraeus said in the story that there were signs of a slight drop in attacks associated with Shiite militants but that it was too early to tell whether the dip was statistically significant. He also said it was too early to tell whether the decline was the result of Tehran’s pledge to stop cross-border support.
