CIA Prison Uncovered in Lithuania
---------------------------------



A previously undisclosed secret CIA prison has been identified in
Lithuania. A Lithuanian official and a former US intelligence official
told ABC News the CIA held prisoners at a horsing stable outside the
Lithuanian capital of Vilnius. The CIA is said to have bought the
property using a front company. As many as eight prisoners were held at
the prison for more than a year. Earlier this month, a Lithuanian
parliamentary committee launched a probe into whether the CIA jailed and
tortured prisoners in Lithuania.
