Ex-Polish leader says CIA ran facility on Polish soil

Former Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski said on Wednesday that while he was in office Poland agreed to a request from Washington for US intelligence agents to use a facility on Polish soil.

 

Kwasniewski said he was told by US officials the facility would be used by intelligence officials to obtain information from sources who were willing to cooperate. He said he did not know what was happening inside the facility.

 

According to a US Senate report published on Tuesday, the CIA ran a facility in Poland where al Qaeda suspects were held in 2002 and 2003 and where they were subject to interrogation methods that rights groups say amount to torture.
