LONDON, June 7 (PL) .— At least 14 European nations were involved in U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) secret flights with alleged terrorists on board, The Guardian newspaper reported today.

Those nations, including the United Kingdom, were aware of the clandestine transfer of those prisoners to detention centers, where on many occasions they were subjected to torture.

A European Council commission investigated whether or not the CIA flew over European countries’ territory or used their airports for transporting individuals accused of being terrorists and determined which countries were involved.

Britain not only provided facilities for the transfer of prisoners, it also contributed information on those individuals to the CIA, according to the report by Dick Marty, Rapporteur of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights.

The documents notes that the information provided by London led to the torture of detainees, and that there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate the existence of secret prisons in Romania and Poland run by the U.S. espionage agency.

Of the 14 countries mentioned in the report, Spain, Turkey, Germany and Cyprus offered points of transit during the so-called Operation Rendition, via which Washington kidnapped supposed terrorism suspects and transported them to detention centers.

In that context, Marty said that while the White House bears most of the responsibility for that operation, it was only able to function with the highly negligent complicity of its European partners.
