German Prosecutor Investigates CIA Kidnapping of El-Masri

HeadlineSep 25, 2006

A prosecutor in Germany has told Newsweek that he is conducting a probe into the CIA officials involved in the kidnapping of Khalid El-Masri. El-Masri is the German citizen who was seized by the CIA in Macedonia and flown to a jail in Afghanistan. He was wrongly suspected of involvement with 9/11 conspirators. A Spanish newspaper has published the names of 20 CIA agents and contractors believed to have been involved. They include Eric Fain, James Fairing and Kirk James Bird. All three apparently work for the North Carolina company Aero Contractors which has been identified as a possible CIA front company.
