Police say no evidence for CIA flights claim

Sat Jun 9, 2007 1:14PM BST LONDON (Reuters) - Police say they have found no evidence to support claims CIA planes transporting terrorism suspects to face possible torture in secret prisons in Europe landed illegally at British airports.

IMO: Well, maybe they were sanctioned by someone 'economical with the truth'. There seem to be plenty of them around.

Amnesty International 5 April 2006 reported the following flights.

(sample details below, many witnesses from differing sources for flights) Destinations : movements of N313P-N4476S include landings and take offs from the following airports: N313P-N4476S is a Boeing 737-7ET (BBJ) aircraft (m/n 33010) for which there are 396 recorded landings or taking offs between 22 November 2002 and 8 September 2005. Flight records show that it was the plane that took Khaled el-Masri from Skopje to Afghanistan in January 2004, and Human Rights Watch has identified it as the “plane that the CIA used to move several prisoners to and from Europe, Afghanistan, and the Middle East in 2003 and 2004 – it landed in Poland and Romania on direct flights from Afghanistan on two occasions in 2003 and 2004.”
