Secret Memo Confirms Existence of CIA Prison, Polish Paper Says

A Polish newspaper has reported that a top secret memo confirms the existence of a secret CIA prison in Poland, a claim rejected by the Polish government.

Polish prosecutors have obtained a top secret memorandum from either late 2005 or early 2006 showing that a CIA prison existed in Poland earlier in the decade, according to respected Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza.

The Warsaw newspaper quoted sources saying that they had seen the document but did not explicitly say that the prison served as a holding center for al-Qaeda terrorist suspects as has been alleged in the American media.

The Gazeta reported that according to the document the secret prison was set up after the US and Poland signed an accord in 2002 to combat terrorism.
