CIA secret jail locations exposed
(Aljazeera.com, 1-10-06)
The CIA held 23 people in a secret prison in Romania and maintained similar detention facilities in Bulgaria, Ukraine, Macedonia and Kosovo, according to allegations contained in an Egyptian government fax obtained by Swiss Security services. . . . The fax offers the first "real evidence" that the U.S. interrogated suspects at secret prisons in Eastern Europe, European politicians said. . . . The highly-classified fax, sent late last year by Egypt's foreign minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, to its embassy in London, was leaked by Switzerland's SonntagsBlick newspaper. . . . Although Egyptian officials declined to comment on the fax, Swiss officials asserted that the report was genuine and that its publication had led to an internal inquiry. . . . In the fax, Mr. Gheit discusses the fate of 23 detainees from Iraq and Afghanistan whom the U.S held at the Mihail Kogalniceanu air base in Romania on the Black Sea coast. . . . Mr. Aboul Gheit concluded: "Romanian authorities continue to deny the presence of secret prisons used by U.S. intelligence to interrogate members of Al Qaeda."
