The government has repeatedly accepted US assurances that Diego Garcia has not been used to hold high-ranking members of al-Qaeda who have been flown to secret interrogation centres around the world in 'ghost' planes hired by the CIA.

Senior American intelligence sources have claimed that the US has been holding terrorist suspects on the British territory as recently as two years ago.
