Polish PM says to probe CIA prison allegations
Posted on: Saturday, 10 December 2005, 08:36 CST
WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish Prime Minister Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz said on Saturday he will commission an investigation into allegations that the CIA detained suspected terrorists at secret prisons in Poland.
"I will order an investigation at all possible locations, to determine whether there is any evidence at all that such events took place on our territory," Marcinkiewicz said in remarks carried on private television channel TVN 24.
"This matter must finally be closed, because it could prove dangerous for Poland," he added.
Poland has repeatedly denied the allegations and the United States has declined to comment on the reports from U.S.-based Human Rights Watch, which have caused controversy on both sides of the Atlantic.
Poland is one of Washington's leading allies in Europe, where it irked EU heavyweights Germany and France by sending troops to join the U.S.-led war in Iraq.
