/PanARMENIAN.Net/ CIA Director John Negroponte has for the first time
publicly acknowledged the existence of CIA ran secret jails where Al
Qaeda terrorist are kept. In an interview with Time Magazine Negroponte
said that three dozen or so of the worst al-Qaeda terrorists held in
secret CIA prisons are likely to remain in captivity as long as the
“war on terror continues.” He added, “These people are being held.
And they’re bad actors. And as long as this situation continues,
this war on terror continues, I’m not sure I can tell you what the
ultimate disposition of those detainees will be.”
To remind, the information on the existence of CIA secret overseas
jails appeared last September in the Washington Post. According
to the newspaper, the CIA keeps there the suspects in ties with
al-Qaeda. Later the European Parliament has formed a special commission
for investigating the fact. The commission concluded that the planes
conveying the suspects in terror have crossed Europe. They made
intermediate flight stops in the European airports, specifically in
the UK, Germany, Spain, Poland and Romania. Then the criminals were
taken to the third states where the jurisdiction of the U.S. and
Europe is invalid.
According to European Parliament representative, the number of the
CIA flying jails reaches hundreds or even thousands. However, it’s
very hard to fix them.
It should be noted that the conclusions of the commission coincide
with the data furnished by some legal organizations including Amnesty
International, reported Golos Rossii.
