At this point nothing seems to be proven, but Khaled al-Masri is saying that he was abducted by some North Americans and a German at the Serbia-Macedonia border and imprisoned and tortured for three weeks, before being flown to Afghanistan and imprisoned and tortured there for five months. He says he was finally released in Albania in 2004 when they – the CIA, allegedly – found they had the wrong person. How many wrongly abducted people have travelled through Shannon with Bertie Ahern’s implicit approval I wonder?
