The United Nations is responsible for the lack of transparency in the program that contributed to the abuses that plagued oil-for-food. According to the investigators, that underscores the need for urgent U.N. reform, especially if the world body wants to take on a program of this magnitude ever again.

While he did not say who was suspected in the explosions, the Indian government faces opposition from dozens of militant organizations, from tiny fringe groups to well-armed Kashmiri insurgents who have previously attacked New Delhi, including a bloody 2001 assault on parliament. Some of those groups fiercely oppose the India-Pakistan peace process, which began early last year.

Rumsfeld Says No U.N. Access to Guantanamo Inmates
Spurning a request by U.N. human rights investigators, Defense Secretary Donald

at the Guantanamo prison for foreign terrorism suspects.

Rumsfeld also told a Pentagon news conference that prisoners at the U.S. naval base
at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, were staging a hunger strike that began in early August as
a successful ploy to attract media attention.

The three U.N. investigators, including one who focuses on torture, said on Monday
they would turn down an invitation extended by the Pentagon on Friday to visit
Guantanamo unless they were permitted to interview the detainees. The invitation came
nearly four years after the visits were first requested.

Rumsfeld said the U.S. government will not change its policy of giving such access
to detainees only to the International Committee of the Red Cross, a neutral body
that keeps its findings confidential.

Human rights activists have criticized the United States for the indefinite detention
of the roughly 505 detainees held at Guantanamo. Former prisoners have stated they
were tortured there, and the ICRC last year accused the U.S. military of using tactics "tantamount to torture" on Guantanamo prisoners. The military has denied torture has
occurred.

including 24 receiving forced-feedings. Detainees' lawyers estimated that about 200
are taking part.

Asked about the motivation of the hunger strikers, Rumsfeld said, "Well, I suppose
