US May Create Terror Interrogation Unit

WASHINGTON - A U.S. official says the Obama administration is considering creating a unit of professional interrogators to handle high-value terror suspects.

The recommendation is expected from a government task force on interrogation methods that plans to send some of its findings to the White House on Tuesday.

The official says the panel has concluded a special unit of intelligence and law enforcement agencies should be created. Also, the official says the task force is still unsure about which agencies should have a role, though the CIA and FBI are expected to be important players.

The official was not authorized to publicly discuss the task force's work and spoke on condition of anonymity.
