STORYLINE:

U-S military officials reported no problems during Thursday's transportation of another group of detainees from Afghanistan to the U-S Navy base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

Officials said no prisoners were sedated, and the 30 detainees arrived safely.

That brings the total so far at the base to 110.

They're being housed in temporary facilities at what is being called "Camp X-Ray."

This includes temporary six by eight foot (1.8 by 2.4 metres) cells which have drawn criticism from human rights group Amnesty International.

Later on Thursday, a team of inspectors from the International Red Cross is scheduled to arrive to check conditions at the base.

Pentagon officials continue to insist the detainees were being treated humanely.
