US assures UK over secret flights, doubts persist
None
Britain received new US assurances that the CIA did not secretly smuggle terrorist suspects through its territory.
Foreign Secretary David Miliband sought the assurances after being embarrassed in February by revelations that two US planes carrying terrorism suspects on so-called rendition flights had landed and re-fuelled in 2002 at a US base on the British Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia. (Reuters)
