Intelligence knew of terrorist transports
Comments from former high-ranking CIA members to Politiken newspaper suggest that Denmark’s intelligence service was aware of private planes seizing suspected terrorists in Europe and taking them to countries where torture and execution were sanctioned. Denmark’s governments and its intelligence agency, PET, have continually denied any knowledge of the CIA program. A Council of Europe report indicated earlier this year that Denmark was one of several countries that had covertly approved the program.
The new information has got several parties - the Social Democrats, New Alliance, the Social Liberals and the Red-Green Alliance - to again demand an official investigation into the allegations. Prior requests for a full-scale investigation into whether Denmark was aware of the CIA’s secret programme have been continually refused by the government, which considers the case closed. Abu Talal, a suspected terrorist thought to be the first captured through the CIA programme, had asylum in Denmark in 1995 when he disappeared on a flight from Copenhagen to Croatia - probably arrested by Croatian police and handed over to US authorities.

Terrorism does not make a difference among people. All groups and tribes should be united in the fighting terrorism and uprooted this bad omen phenomenon by cooperation of the government.
