CIA Flights
CIA planes carrying secret prisoners have landed in nine south-eastern European countries, among which Macedonia as well, the German daily Berliner Zeitung reports. Referring to former collaborators of the CIA, the daily says the planes also landed in Hungary, Ukraine, Poland, Bulgaria, Georgia, Albania, Moldavia, and Romania. The daily stresses that the CIA planes also landed on the Rhine-Mein force base in Germany from December 2001-August 2003, from where they went to countries such as Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria and others. The daily quotes anonymous collaborators as saying the CIA has three airlines with 26 planes, which mainly seem to be military ones. It is assumed that “Turp Aviation”, a company often mentioned in the past for trading arms and drugs, “Pegas Technologies” and “Euro Contractors” are the companies that use the planes Boeing 737 as well as the small Gulfstream 5 planes and the Hercules transporters. The German daily underlines that the secret prisoners are also seriously maltreated while on board from America to some other country. The Council of Europe in Strasbourg introduced a formal investigation on Wednesday, while Secretary-General Terry Davis explained that “due to the serious nature of the statements, Europe should go for answer beyond political explanations and investigations.” The US has refused to confirm or deny the reports. MoI Spokesperson Pavlovski has denied the allegations of this daily as “speculations” and claimed there are no secret CIA prisons in Macedonia.
