New Probes into CIA Renditions in Europe
The investigation into the alleged use of European airports by the CIA in its transportation of terrorist suspects gained new impetus this week when Italy and Spain announced new probes. Spain has "categorically" rejected allegations in a report by the Council of Europe that it was one of 14 European countries which colluded in or tolerated the secret transfer of terrorist suspects by the United States. It is alleged that out of 1,080 European movements of planes allegedly chartered by the CIA between 2001 and the end of 2005, 125 went through 10 Spanish airports, mainly Majorca and Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
