Think tank withdraws slanderous "extremist literature" report

Follow-up to a 2007 story about the forging of evidence in a report claiming extremist literature in mosques including Edinburgh.The rightist "think tank" which produced the report, Policy Exchange have withdrawn the report from their website and been forced into an apology:

"In this report we state that Al-Manaar Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre is one of the Centres where extremist literature was found. Policy Exchange accepts the Centre’s assurances that none of the literature cited in the Report has ever been sold or distributed at the Centre with the knowledge or consent of the Centre’s trustees or staff, who condemn the extremist and intolerant views set out in such literature. We are happy to set the record straight."
