Prosecutors in Poland are investigating allegations that the CIA interrogated terrorist suspects at a secret jail on Polish soil. The investigation began three weeks ago, one prosecutor told Polish media. Poland probes "secret CIA jail" A report released in June 2007 by the Council of Europe said the CIA ran secret jails in Poland and Romania in 2003-2005, to hold al-Qaeda suspects. Polish and Romanian officials denied the claim. The secret CIA operation was known as "extraordinary rendition". Asked about the alleged CIA jail in Poland on Monday, a Polish justice ministry spokesman told the AFP news agency: "I can confirm that such an investigation is ongoing". Dick Marty, the Swiss senator who led the Council of Europe inquiry, said a secret agreement among NATO allies allowed the CIA to operate the secret jails. Unnamed CIA sources quoted by Marty said Poland was the "black site" where eight "high-value detainees (HVDs)" were interrogated, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed - alleged mastermind of the September 11 attacks on the US in 2001. An investigation by the BBC in 2006 identified the "black site" as Szymany airport, a remote military airstrip in north-eastern Poland. The first reports about a Polish "black site" for CIA interrogations surfaced in 2005.
