“Most astonishing is that Europe became an area for the CIA’s actions”
Former member of the European Parliament Giulietto Chiesa questions the sovereignty of European countries as yet another controversy regarding the CIA’s actions in Europe comes hot on the heels of similar scandals.
The CIA and controversial US security company, Blackwater, are in the middle of a new anti-terrorist scandal – this time, in Germany.
According to Der Spiegel magazine, a team of Blackwater operatives, hired by the CIA, were allegedly working in Hamburg five years ago.
They had a secret mission to kidnap a German citizen with suspected ties to Al-Qaeda and 9/11 terror attacks, the report said.
The story is gaining momentum as it follows controversy over CIA operations in Yemen. The German parliament has promised to look into the matter closely.
The European Parliament has already conducted its own investigation into the CIA’s actions in Europe, and Giulietto Chiesa took part in its discussions.
“We didn't know how or where they acted, but it is clear the operation was huge and took place all around the world. And what’s most astonishing is that it was done inside foreign countries like Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Britain and so on,” Chiesa says.
