Van der Sloot questioned again

ORANJESTAD, Aruba

They questioned him for about two hours today, in connection with the Natalee Holloway disappearance. Prosecutors say he again denied any role in the teen's disappearance more than two and a-half years ago on the Dutch Caribbean island.

According to the prosecutor's office, Van der Sloot claimed that he had been under the influence of marijuana when he said in a secretly taped video that he had been with Holloway when she died. In the video, he said that he'd had a friend dump her body at sea.

Prosecutors are seeking a court order to detain him based on the hidden-camera interview.
