Dutch Foreign Minister Ben Bot has warned the US government that if it continues to ‘hide’ over reports of secret prisons in eastern Europe, Dutch contributions to US-led military missions could be affected.

‘The US should stop hiding. It will all come out sooner or later,’ Bot told the Dutch parliament, according to ANP.

Bot added that the Americans ‘are on the borderline’ in their fight against terrorism. The minister would not say at what point the Netherlands might end their cooperation with the US.
