CIA Prison Uncovered in Lithuania

HeadlineNov 19, 2009

A previously undisclosed secret CIA prison has been identified in Lithuania. A Lithuanian official and a former US intelligence official told ABC News the CIA held prisoners at a horsing stable outside the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius. The CIA is said to have bought the property using a front company. As many as eight prisoners were held at the prison for more than a year. Earlier this month, a Lithuanian parliamentary committee launched a probe into whether the CIA jailed and tortured prisoners in Lithuania.
