WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- The U.S. Justice Department said it will begin a criminal investigation into the CIA's destruction of videotapes showing interrogation of terrorism suspects.
The CIA revealed in December it destroyed in 2005 videotapes showing the use of harsh interrogation techniques on alleged al-Qaida terrorists Zayn al-Abidin Muhammed Hussein and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri.
