We are deeply sorry for any pain this has caused and sincerely apologize to the families of the victims and the communities in Cambodia. We have begun outreach in private with community groups and individuals to address this.
We continue to strive for the highest level of rigor when it comes to these checks and balances in our stories and will redouble these efforts to ensure this does not happen again.
