GENEVA (AP) - Cuba avoided a showdown with the United States on Thursday by withdrawing a resolution from the top U.N. human rights body that called for an investigation into the treatment of prisoners at the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The resolution alleged widespread abuses at Guantanamo, where few of the more than 600 terrorism suspects being held by U.S. authorities have been charged with crimes or given access to lawyers.

But Cuban Ambassador Jorge Mora Godoy told the 53-nation commission he would not ask for a vote on the resolution because U.S. "threats and blackmail" had ensured its failure.
