U.S. Ready To Response to Statements on CIA Secret Jails
Sean McCormack, National Security Council Spokesman stated that U.S. is ready to produce formal reports on its offshore prisons. In Mr. McCormick's words, the United States will response to EU formal inquiry but to newspaper publications. To remind, the scandal was caused by "The Washington Post" article about a CIA secret prison network in Eastern Europe.
To remind, yesterday Echo newspaper spread information that a secret U.S. plane, fulfilling various CIA tasks, again landed in Baku a few days ago - on November 15. It cleared out that November 15 DeHavilland Dash 8-315B plane, owned by CIA Path Corporation dummy company, landed in Istanbul on its way from Amsterdam to Baku. In Minister of Transport of Turkey Binali Yildirim's words, the plane made "a technical landing" at Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen airport. As reported earlier, the plane "serves" CIA secret prisons, transporting suspects in terrorism from one country to another. Already 1.5-3 year ago US media had reported that the plane had landed in Baku many times. The Council of Europe started an investigation of the case.
Romania, Poland and Azerbaijan are named among the countries, where U.S. "secret prisons" are available. "Analysis of shots made from satellites will allow proving or denying the availability of such prisons," said Council of Europe Juridical Committee Dick Marty. According to western editions, suspicion that CIA secret jails are available in Azerbaijan were justified after the statements of Turkish Minister Binali Yildirim. Now the CE intends to "find the trace of CIA prisons in Azerbaijan," Axisglobe notes. Azeri human rights advocate Murad Sadaddinov remarked, "it is necessary to establish the availability of these "secret jails" in Azerbaijan and what is the CIA plane itself." Another expert Eldar Zeynalov remarks U.S. sources provided the information on flights and landing of the CIA vessel. "This needs to be checked," he said.
