The CIA had 25 agents in Germany after the September 11
attacks and planned to “rendition” illegally al-Qaeda
suspects without informing the German government, Spiegel magazine
reported Sunday.
“It was about grabbing people without the Germans knowing
about it,” the German weekly magazine cited an unnamed former CIA
agent as saying. “We were planning stuff that was totally
illegal.”
The plan went so far that other parts of the Central Intelligence
Agency were in the loop, but in the end it was scrapped because of
objections by the agency’s German section, Spiegel cited its
source as saying.
“We said ‘no’ because we were of the opinion that
you just couldn’t do a thing like that in a friendly country
where there were so many US soldiers based,” the source is cited
as saying.
