The Council of Europe, the continent's human rights watchdog, has opened an inquiry into reports of secret CIA detention centres in Romania and Poland, the European commission said yesterday.
It follows a Washington Post report this month which said the intelligence agency has been interrogating al-Qaida captives in eastern Europe.
The CIA has also taken the first step toward a criminal investigation of the leak, possibly of classified information, on which the newspaper based its report, a US official said yesterday. The agency has sent a report to the US Justice Department.
