Wayne Madsen Report
January 8, 2006
According to a report in today's Swiss newspaper Sonntagsblick, Swiss intelligence intercepted a November 10, 2005 fax from Cairo to the Egyptian embassy in London confirming the presence of secret CIA detention centers in Eastern Europe. The fax was intercepted by the Swiss military's Onyx satellite interception system, which has intercept ground stations in cantons Valais, Schaffhausen, and St. Gallen.
Swiss signals intelligence operations are handled by the Division Conduite de la Guerre Electronique (CGE), a part of the armed forces Groupe Renseignements (Intelligence Group's) Office Federal des Troupes de Transmissions (OFTT).
The Egyptian fax confirms that 23 Iraqi and Afghan nationals were transferred to the Mihail Kogalniceanu airbase near Constanta, Romania. The Egyptian fax also confirmed the presence of CIA detention centers in Kosovo, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Macedonia. The Swiss signals intelligence intercept confirms WMR's November 11 and 28, 2005 reports about CIA prison facilities in all these locations. Swiss authorities claim they will open an investigation into the leak of the Secret Swiss intelligence report.
