Torture hunter's US quest

GENEVA -- The UN's special investigator on torture is demanding access to what he says are secret US jails in Europe.

Manfred Nowak said he was "100 per cent sure" the prisons existed.

Prof Nowak refused a US invitation to visit Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, after being denied interviews with detainees.

He said he hoped Washington would reconsider its policy on terror suspects and allow him to investigate allegations of torture in detention centres outside the US. <snip>
