| NEW YORK: About three dozen of Al Qaeda's worst will likely remain in secret CIA prisons indefinitely, US spy chief John Negroponte said in an interview published Wednesday. "These people are being held. And they're bad actors. And as long as this situation continues, this war on terror continues, I'm not sure I can tell you what the ultimate disposition of those detainees will be," Negroponte told Time magazine, admitting to the existence of a secret system of CIA prisons. Prisoners such as Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, who was involved in the September 11, 2001 attacks are likely to remain jailed for a long time. |
