Correction: Bin Laden Files-Iran story

FILE - In this 1998 file photo made available on March 19, 2004, Osama bin Laden is seen at a news conference in Khost, Afghanistan. The CIA's release of documents seized during the 2011 raid that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has again raised questions about Iran's support of the extremist network leading up to the Sept. 11 terror attacks. U.S. intelligence officials and prosecutors have long said Iran formed loose ties to the terror organization from 1991 on, something noted in a 19-page report in Arabic included in the release of some 47,000 other documents by the CIA. Iran always has denied any links. Mazhar Ali Khan, File AP Photo

In a story Nov. 2 about the CIA's release this week of documents seized during the 2011 raid that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, The Associated Press incorrectly reported the number of documents released. It was nearly 470,000 additional files, not 47,000.
