A State Department report that incorrectly showed a decline last year in terrorism worldwide was a ``big mistake,'' Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday.

He said he was working with the CIA, which helped to compile the data, to determine why the errors got into the report.

``Very embarrassing. I am not a happy camper over this. We were wrong,'' the secretary told NBC's ``Meet the Press.''

``It's a very big mistake. And we are not happy about this big mistake,'' he added.

The department has said that one of the mistakes was that only part of 2003 was taken into account.
