Paper's apology in McCann diary row

The News of the World has apologised for publishing extracts from Kate McCann's private diary without her permission.

In a statement published in the newspaper and on its website, the tabloid said it published the extracts "in the belief held in good faith" that it had Mrs McCann's permission to do so.

The diary was seized and photocopied by Portuguese police after her five-year-old daughter Madeleine, of Rothley, Leicestershire, went missing while on holiday in May last year.
