"Flight Logs Reveal Hundreds of CIA Flights to Europe: Report"
More than 300 CIA flights have landed at European airports, a British newspaper said, adding a new element to claims that Washington has been transporting terrorist suspects to secret prisons in Europe.

The Guardian daily said it had seen flight logs documenting the flights by 26 planes operated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

The information showed an "unprecedented" amount of travel by the agency but did not reveal which planes took part in alleged prison transfers, it said.

The CIA has been accused in reports of using European countries for the transport, illegal detention and torture of suspected Islamist terrorists in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.

Government challenged to account for 'torture flights'

Richard Norton-Taylor
Wednesday November 30, 2005
The Guardian

The government and senior police officers will be taken to court unless they provide evidence they have investigated reports that CIA "torture flights" have landed in Britain or used British airspace, the Guardian has learned.

Shami Chakrabarti, director of Liberty, the civil rights group, has written to Jack Straw, the foreign secretary, and to chief constables, giving them two weeks to disclose what they know about the flights and demand assurances from the US that they would stop.
