Mauritania denies hosting CIA secret prisons

NOUAKCHOTT - Mauritanias justice minister denied on Friday allegations that his country is hosting secret CIA prisons, the state-run news agency AMI said. There are no secret American prisons in our country, Limam Ould Teguedi told the countrys national assembly. We are an elected government of a democratic country, we respect human rights.

Just as much as any other Arab state!

US magazine the New Yorker recently reported that the west African country was among the countries housing secret prisons run by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to interrogate war on terror suspects.

Seymour Hersh is at it again.

The prisons were part of a global spiders web of detentions and illegal transfers spun out around the world by the United States and its allies after the September 11, 2001 attacks, said the June 8 Council of Europe report.

Defence Minister Mohamed Mahmoud Ould Mohamed Lemine told the parliament that the government of the Islamic republic has not even received any US request to set up a military base in the northwest African country.
