CNN:Was Berg in U.S. custody? Answers conflict

Edited on Fri May-14-04 11:22 AM by jayfish

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A coalition spokesman said Friday that U.S. military police may have been at the Iraqi facility where Nicholas Berg was held before his murder, but he insisted that Berg was never in U.S. custody, as others believe.

Iraqi authorities said Thursday they held the American civilian only briefly before handing him over to U.S. troops, police sources in Mosul said Thursday.

Berg's father Michael Berg said Thursday that State Department officials told him his son was being held by the U.S. military.

State Department officials said Thursday that they were later told the information they passed to Berg's family in e-mails -- information they attributed to the Coalition Provisional Authority -- was incorrect.
