L.A. TIMES APOLOGIZES FOR SHAKUR STORY
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Times apologized for using apparently fabricated documents in a story implying that a 1994 assault on Tupac Shakur was carried out by associates of Sean "Diddy" Combs, and that he knew about it ahead of time.
"The bottom line is that the documents we relied on should not have been used," Editor Russ Stanton said in a story posted Wednesday night on the newspaper’s Web site. "We apologize both to our readers and to those referenced in the documents … and in the story."
