Iran bars Reuters over ninja 'assassin' error April 3, 2012 -- Updated 0814 GMT (1614 HKT) Reuters runs a headline saying Iran is training female ninja assassins It admits the headline is wrong and changes it Iran revokes the press cards of 11 Reuters staff in Tehran Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Iran revoked the press cards of Reuters staff in the country after the news agency ran a mistaken headline saying Iran was training female Ninja assassins, Iran's official news agency reported Tuesday. "All activities of the Reuters office in Tehran have been temporarily suspended," said Mohammad Javad Aghajari, the Culture Ministry foreign media department director general, IRNA said. He accused Reuters of calling the martial arts students terrorists, when in fact they are "university students and housewives" who "engaged in this sport because of their love for the sport." Reuters acknowledged the video report in February "contained an error" and that the headline was changed after a complaint. The story's headline, "Thousands of female Ninjas train as Iran's assassins," was corrected to read "Three thousand women Ninjas train in Iran," Reuters said in a statement. Eleven Reuters staff members in Tehran were told to hand in their press cards over the incident, Reuters said. ""We acknowledge this error occurred and regard it as a very serious matter," editor-in-chief Stephen J. Adler said, saying the company "conducted an internal review and have taken appropriate steps to prevent a recurrence." He said Reuters was in talks to restore its journalists' accreditation. IRNA said authorities would review the case. CNN's Shirzad Bozorgmehr contributed to this report.
