 BOEING SUED FOR CIA FLIGHTS TO MIDEAST |
WASHINGTON [MENL] -- Boeing has been sued by suspected Al Qaida operatives
transported by the CIA to Arab countries for interrogation and torture.The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a federal lawsuit against
Boeing subsidiary Jeppesen Dataplan on behalf of three Al Qaida suspects
transported by the CIA under the so-called "extraordinary rendition
program." The suit asserted that Jeppesen helped the CIA transport the three
plaintiffs to secret locations in Egypt and Morocco, where the company knew
they would undergo torture."American corporations should not be profiting from a CIA rendition
program that is unlawful and contrary to core American values," ACLU
executive director Anthony Romero said. "Corporations that choose to
participate in such activity can and should be held legally accountable."The plaintiffs named in the suit in U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of California, were Binyam Mohamed, Abou Elkassim Britel and Ahmed
Agiza. Britel and Mohamed were said to have been flown by the CIA to
Morocco. Agiza was taken to Egypt.
