'CIA, MI-6 Had Close Ties with Gaddafi Regime'

Documents have been found at the abandoned office of Libya's former spy chief, revealing new details of the close ties between Gaddafi regime and two Western spy agencies, the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Britain's MI-6.

One of the found documents suggested that "the Americans sent terrorism suspects at least eight times for questioning in Libya despite that country's reputation for torture," the ND TV reported.

It also has been found that Britain's MI-6 too was cooperating with the Libyan dictator. "Some documents indicate that the British agency was even willing to trace phone numbers for the Libyans, and another appears to be a proposed speech written by the Americans for Col. Muammar el-Gaddafi about renouncing unconventional weapons."

 
According to the Time, among the discovered documents were "rendition proposals, rendition schedules…lists of terrorist suspect interrogation questions requested by the CIA, wire taps of foreign embassies, Libyan telephone numbers intercepted by and provided by the CIA to Libyan authorities, as well as transcripts of terrorism suspect interrogations."
