'Signs suggest US illegally held detainees in Europe'

A European investigator said today he has mounting indications that the US illegally held detainees in Europe – then hurriedly shipped out the last ones to north Africa when word leaked out.

Dick Marty, a Swiss senator looking into claims that the CIA operated secret prisons in Europe, did not offer details about the suspected detentions beyond what already was reported by a human rights group, an alleged former detainee and news reports.
