Al-Masri, who was born in Kuwait, told the committee that he was arrested by
U.S. agents on the Macedonian border while on vacation. He said he was kept at a
hotel in Skopje for several weeks before being flown to Afghanistan and jailed
for five months. He said he was flown back to Europe in May 2004 and released in
Albania.
Fava said the bulk of the clandestine CIA flights passed through Germany and
Spain, where the United States has several air bases. Neither government had any
comment.
The European Union also declined to address the committee's preliminary
report.
"We have no comment. We will wait for the investigation to finish," said
Friso Roscam Abbing, spokesman for EU Justice Commissioner Franco Frattini.
