CIA secret flights report approved by European committee

A special committee of the European Parliament today approved a report alleging Britain, Poland, Germany, Italy and other EU nations were aware of secret CIA flights over Europe and the abduction of terror suspects by US agents into clandestine detention centres.

The report, the conclusion to a year of investigation by the committee into questionable CIA activities in Europe, also accuses EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and other high-ranking officials of not co-operating with the investigation and not revealing all they know about the US secret detention programme.
