CIA flights reports credible, says EU investigator
An investigator looking into claims of secret CIA prisons in Europe today said that people were apparently abducted and transferred between countries illegally.
Swiss senator Dick Marty told a news conference that he believed the United States was no longer holding prisoners clandestinely in Europe but that claims about "extraordinary renditions" of prisoners, some of whom allegedly faced torture, had "credibility". He said he believes any prisoners who were held in eastern Europe - there have been claims about secret prisons in Romania and Poland - were moved to North Africa in early November, when reports about the secret detention centres appeared in the Washington Post. In a written report, Sen Marty said that information gathered so far "reinforced the credibility of the allegations concerning the transfer and temporary detention of individuals, without any judicial involvement, in European countries".
