EXCLUSIVE: CIA 'TORTURE FLIGHT TAKES OFF FROM UK
By Stephen Moyes

A SECRET "torture flight" CIA plane climbs high into the sky after taking off from a military airfield in England.

The Boeing C-32B - one of a fleet allegedly used to transport terror suspects to interrogation camps -had spent two hours refuelling after arriving from the Middle East.

US military officials at the RAF base said it was an American Special Operations Squadron flight. A US Air Force spokeswoman in Florida would only say last night: "This was an aircraft on a training mission."

The MoD added: "Under UK and international law, carriers on technical operations are not obliged to provide passenger lists or obtain permission to refuel."

The plane - the military version of the Boeing 757 passenger jet - was at RAF Mildenhall, in Suffolk, a hub for the United States Air Force, between 12.25pm and 2.45pm last Saturday, before departing for the Wright-Patterson airfield in Dayton, Ohio. >
