檢察官從西班牙的全國法院關於許多Islamist囚犯通過西班牙被運輸對關塔那摩海灣的涉嫌的秘密CIA飛行尋找關鍵證人。

全國法院懷疑在Kandahar逋獲的許多囚犯，阿富汗由美國部隊被運輸了到關塔那摩通過西班牙機場或使用西班牙領空在2002年1月和2006年10月之間。

根據西班牙人每日El Pais，大約47次飛行在古巴朝向對或來自美國基地在關塔那摩并且登陸了或者飛行在西班牙機場。

A document submitted to the court by the Spanish Airports and Air Navigation (AENA) authority, refers to eight flights in 2002, seven in 2003, twelve in 2004, nine in 2005, nine in 2006, and two in February 2007.

The National Court also wants to know why in 2002, just months after the deadly September 11 attacks against the twin towers, ex-premier Jose Maria Aznar and US president George W. Bush, updated a bilateral defence treaty, which had been in place in 1989.

The updated treaty made it more flexible for American planes to land at the US bases of Rota and Moron de la Frontera.

The court wants to know if these ‘more flexible’ terms were used to transfer the first 23 prisoners sent from the city of Kandahar in Afghanistan to Guantanamo.

Flight and airport officials as well as military and civilian air traffic controllers in the US bases located at Moron de la Frontera, Rota and Torrejon de Ardoz will be asked to give their testimony.

The flights took place under the leadership of former prime minister Jose Maria Aznar and the current prime minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.
