Correction for Aug. 9, 2015

A story on Page B3 Saturday misquoted a motion on behalf of seven Somali-American defendants that argued ISIL is not a terrorist organization. The quote should have read: "While the group has adopted harshly violent and repressive tactics, and engages in military and insurgency attacks against the Syrian and Iraqi armies, it has also embarked on a systematic process of civilian governance over the eight to 10 million people with the territory it controls."
