A team from the international Red Cross visited ousted and imprisoned Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein today to see his conditions in US custody.

In Baghdad, Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt would not say where the visit took place.

Saddam has been held in an undisclosed location since his capture by US forces in December, undergoing CIA and FBI interrogation.

The last visit by the International Committee of the Red Cross to Saddam came in February, Kimmitt said.

There were unconfirmed reports last month that Saddam had been moved to the Gulf state of Qatar.
