Poland to look into CIA prison allegations

Polish prosecutors said last Friday that they would investigate repeated allegations about CIA prisons in Poland. On Thursday, The Washington Post quoted anonymous former CIA officers as saying that the agency paid Poland $15 million to use a site in the north east of the country for the purpose of detaining and interrogating suspected Al Qaeda members. “In the course of the investigation that is underway, we will analyze this Washington Post article and will include it in our investigation,” Piotr Kosmaty, spokesperson for the Kraków Prosecutor's Office, told Reuters. The Kraków prosecution is leading a classified investigation in the matter. Meanwhile, Poland is also accused before the European Court of Human Rights by two Saudi citizens claiming they were held and tortured in Poland in 2002.
