Correction: Iraq-US-Jailed Kids story

NEW YORK —

In a May 19 story about the U.S. military holding approximately 500 juveniles in detention centers in Afghanistan and Iraq, The Associated Press erroneously reported that a U.S. government report said those held in Iraq were "unlawful enemy combatants." The military considers all its Iraqi detainees "civilian internees" as defined under the Geneva Conventions, terminology that does not appear in the report. The designation "unlawful enemy combatant," a term used throughout the report, confers a different legal status and is used for detainees in other facilities including Guantanamo Bay and Afghanistan.
