US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said on Monday that he had "no knowledge" about claims that former Haitian President Jean Bertrand Aristide was removed from power by US troops.The White House has strongly denied claims by a friend of Aristide's, Randall Robinson, who said the former president told him he was "abducted" by US troops who whisked him out of Haiti in a jet on Sunday.
"I have no knowledge of that," Rumsfled told reporters at a Pentagon press conference when quizzed about the claims.
