WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland's chief prosecutor said on Tuesday that Poland plans to challenge a ruling from the European Court of Human Rights that the country hosted a secret CIA jail on its soil.

Rights campaigners said by challenging the ruling of the court in Strasbourg on procedural grounds, the government was trying to delay the moment when it has to own up to its involvement in the CIA's network of "black sites".
