Probe into alleged CIA prisoner flights
The head of a European investigation into alleged secret CIA prisons in eastern Europe today said he had asked for flight details about 31 aircraft allegedly used for the transfer of terror suspects.
Dick Marty, a Swiss senator leading the investigation for the Council of Europe, said he had asked the Eurocontrol air safety organisation to provide the flight details, based on information from Human Rights Watch.
Marty also said he had asked the European Union’s satellite centre in Spain to hand over satellite images of sites in Romania and Poland which have been identified in the media as sites of possible CIA secret prisons.
