EU to Investigate CIA activities in Macedonia

The European Union Commission probing secret CIA flights in Europe will visit the old Republic of Macedonia April 27 to 29, local press reported Friday. The 7-member delegation, led by Portuguese deputy Carlos Coelho, will travel to that ex Yugoslavian republic to investigate the circumstances surrounding the December 2003 kidnapping of German citizen Jaled Al Masri, of Lebanese-origin. Al Masri´s arrest will be analyzed with Macedonia Interior Minister Branko Crvenkovski as he was arrested on his way to vacation in the Balkan nation by border police and interrogated for three weeks.

When he was finally freed, he was kidnapped by CIA agents, who brought him by plane to Afghanistan, where he was kept until May 24, 2004.
