Madrid, Jul 6 (Prensa Latina) A Spanish court on Tuesday was seeking the arrest of undercover CIA agents it says used false documents in Spain during the dirty war on terrorism ordered by the George W. Bush administration.

That revelation, reported by the local press, was offered by judicial sources investigating U.S. civilian flights with stopovers in Spanish airports between 2003 and 2005.

Prosecutor Ismael Moreno with the Audiencia Nacional (National Court)asked the United Kingdom for help in taking statements from Olivier Minkwitz, the author of a report by the British NGO Reprieve which demonstrates that members of those flight crews used fake IDs in their many stopovers in Spain.

Reprieve is an organization of lawyers representing individuals locked up on terrorism charges without trial or evidence in the prison maintained by the United States on the its naval base in Guantanamo.

According to members of the Reprieve team, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was involved in at least seven kidnappings and illegal transfers of prisoners from Afghanistan and to secret jails in Europe and Africa.

The Spanish prosecutor Moreno demanded the arrest of 14 alleged CIA agents who were part of the crew of one of the flights that stopped over in Palma de Mallorca in 2004.

According to the court, those individuals were carrying false passports and did not report their presence to Spanish authorities in accordance with the law for undercover operations.
