CIA planes land at European airports for over 300 times: Guardian
font size    

The British daily Guardian reported on Thursday CIA planes carrying clandestine prisoners have made over 300 landings at European airports, saying it had seen flight logs of these planes.

The paper said the flight logs revealed that the CIA visited Germany 96 times and Britain 80 times, and the figure rose to more than 200 if CIA charter flights were included.

France was only visited twice and Austria not at all, the paper said.

The logs also showed regular trips to eastern Europe, where the alleged secret CIA prisons were located.

"Only one visit is recorded to the Szymany airbase in northeast Poland, which has been identified as the alleged site of a secret CIA jail," the report said.

Poland and Romania have denied hosting CIA prisons, it added.

The Guardian said the flight logs were obtained from Federal Aviation Administration data and sources in the aviation industry.

The Washington Post first reported on the alleged CIA prison network in eastern Europe established after the Sept. 11 attacks, triggering much concern among human rights organizations and European countries.
