BBC: US blocks ICRC access to suspects
Advertisements [?]
The US has admitted for the first time that it has not given the Red Cross access to all detainees in its custody.

The state department's top legal adviser, John Bellinger, made the admission but gave no details about where such prisoners were held.

Correspondents say the revelation is only likely to increase suspicion that the CIA has been operating secret prisons out of international oversight.

The ICRC wants access to all foreign terror suspects held by the US "in undisclosed locations".
