A parliamentary investigation found that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) ran a secret prison in Lithuania and al-Qaida suspects may have been held there, Reuters reports.

Talk of secret jails have been a hot topic in Lithuania and the head of the domestic intelligence agency has already resigned. According to reports, Lithuania was the third European country after Poland and Romania to host secret CIA jails.

Arvydas Anusauskas, the head of Lithuanian Parliament’s national security and defence committee, said the investigation found the domestic intelligence service opened two detention centres in cooperation with the CIA. Top officials were not informed about the jails, and there was no political approval.

The secret CIA prison operated near Vilnius airport from early 2004 to late 2005 and that CIA planes flew into Lithuania with top level al-Qaida suspects.
