73 Terror Flights In British
Skies PLANES thought to be taken detainees to be tortured have landed and taken off from Britain 73 times since 9/11, the Government said yesterday. But Transport Secretary Alistair Darling said there was no evidence any had been rendition flights - transferring detainees between two countries. He added: "The British Government is not aware of any cases of rendition through the UK since May 1997, apart from the two cases in 1998 about which the Foreign Secretary has informed Parliament." They were on their way to the Middle East and to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Campaigners claim six planes have been used by the CIA to ferry terror suspects. The National Air Service said the jets had been in our airspace 200 times since 2001. The US denies torture claims. --------------------------------------------------- Please help our fight against the New World Order by giving a donation.
