An American plane named in an inquiry by the European
parliament into alleged CIA torture flights landed at Birmingham
airport last month and was met by British special forces helicopters.
Plane spotters said the Gulfstream jet touched down from an
undisclosed location on 2 October and was met by two army air
corps Dauphin 2 helicopters used by the SAS at Hereford.
The 22-seat plane is registered to L-3 Integrated Systems,
a Montana-based subsidiary of a US defence corporation. It made
numerous flights between Ireland and Egypt in 2003 and was involved
in an accident at Bucharest airport in Romania in 2004 after
a flight from Bagram airbase in Afghanistan.
The European parliament reported that seven passengers disappeared
after the accident and deplored the CIA's use of Romania as
a stopover for extraordinary renditions of terror suspects including
the British national Binyam Mohammed.
