WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will seek to deflect growing European pressure over allegations that the CIA has been running secret prisons in the region on a trip to the continent next week. 

Faced with European demands that the United States explain a Washington Post report that secret detention centers to interrogate terrorism suspects were located in two unnamed Eastern European countries, Rice intends to remind the Europeans that they are in a joint fight against an enemy that she says obeys no laws.
