The most-watched news anchor on
US network TV on Thursday apologised after a story he repeatedly
told about coming under fire in Iraq was shown to be untrue.
NBC's Brian Williams said he was on a helicopter forced
down in 2003 but veterans disputed his account.
Williams has often recounted his experience but now blames
the "fog of memory".
"I made a mistake in recalling the events of 12 years ago,"
he said.
