>> CIA 'carried out up to 50 renditions'
>> From: Agence France-Presse
>> From correspondents in Strasbourg
>> May 18, 2006
>>
>> THE US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has sent up to 50 suspects
>> since 2001 to countries where they could face torture, a European
>> Union investigator probing the CIA's actions in Europe said today.
>> Claudio Fava, an Italian member of the European Parliament, said
>> members of his team were given the information by US intelligence
>> officials during a visit to the United States last week.
>>
>> The sources also had said the agency ran secret prisons in Europe,
>> Asia and Africa.
>>
>> The United States has come under intense fire over the last year
>> following press reports that the CIA has flown suspects in the US
>> "war on terror" across European airspace since the September 11,
>> 2001, attacks.
>>
>> The prisoners were reported mainly to have been taken through
>> Europe to third countries in a process known as "rendition", in
>> which the transfers take place outside the legal framework of an
>> extradition agreement.
>>
>> "More than one source in the CIA, senior officials, explained to us
>> that there were 30 to 50 renditions, not including people arrested
>> and taken to Guantanamo Bay," the US naval base prison in Cuba, Mr
>> Fava said.
>>
>> Advertisement:
>> He could not say whether the suspects had been picked up in Europe,
>> were flown through the continent's airspace or transported through
>> its territory, or if any were of European origin.
>>
>> He said the intelligence officials told investigators that the
>> renditions were acceptable in that they were part of the "war on
>> terror".
>>
>> Indeed senior US officials have acknowledged that a few renditions
>> have taken place.
>>
>> The Italian deputy said the officials were asked about the secret
>> prisons in Europe - in particular facilities, now thought closed,
>> in Poland and Romania - and that "they told us there were prisons
>> in Europe, Asia and Africa".
>>
>> Mr Fava also accused the White House of putting pressure on the US
>> media - an editor of the Washington Post and television stations -
>> not to make public the names of countries suspected of allowing
>> secret CIA prisons on their territory.
>>
>> The head of the inquiry, Portuguese MP Carlos Coelho, said
>> information gathered in the United States showed that the "transfer
>> program would not have been possible without the help of European
>> governments".
