Investigation
into CIA Flights Completed: Attorney-General The Portugal News June 13, 2009 The Attorney-General’s
office has concluded its investigation into the alleged use of Portuguese
airports and airspace by the US CIA to illegally ferry terror suspects to the
Guantanamo prison in Cuba. Deputy Attorney-General
Cândida Almeida confirmed last Wednesday that the investigation, which took
about two years, had been concluded, but declined to elaborate on its
findings. However, some media reported
the case had been shelved. Socialist MEP Ana Gomes, one
of two plaintiffs who initiated the investigation through a criminal
complaint in 2007, said she would not drop her fight to uncover the truth on
whether Portuguese governments between 2002 and 2006 had been complicit with
the CIA’s extraordinary rendition programme. Portuguese officials have
repeatedly denied any wrongdoing or knowledge of the secret CIA flights. External link: http://www.the-news.net/cgi-bin/google.pl?id=1014-18 |
