A suspected CIA plane, a Boeing 737 with registration number N313P is seen taking off from Spain's San Joan Palma de Mallorca airport in this March 12, 2004 file photo. The head of a European investigation into alleged CIA secret prisons in Europe, Swiss senator Dick Marty, said Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2006, that evidence pointed to the existence of a system of "outsourcing" of torture by the United States, and said it was highly likely that European governments knew of it. Marty told the parliamentary assembly he had obtained flight logs archived by the Brussels-based air safety organization Eurocontrol so he could determine flight patterns of several dozen suspected CIA planes. This airplane, with registration number N313P, was mentioned in a November 2005 report by Spanish police investigating the case that at least 10 CIA flights landed in Mallorca, for allegedly being used by the CIA to transport Islamic terror suspects.
