Kuwait Not Banning DSLR Cameras After All

Posted by Soulskill on from the false-alarm dept.

Voulnet writes "The Kuwait Times, the newspaper that started the false rumor of Kuwait banning DSLR cameras, has posted an update saying that after investigation, it turned out they didn't verify their information. They have now issued a retraction. Quoting: 'The newspaper regrets failing to verify the information. The article wrongly stated that a ban on DSLR cameras was implemented by the Ministries of Information, Social Affairs and Finance. This information is false. In a follow up investigation, it was proved that no such ban has been issued. We regret this error and deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused.'"

    Well this should be encouraging to the slashdot editors, if their career doesn't work out at slashdot they can always go to work for The Kuwait Times.
