One of the CIA's secret prisons to detain alleged terrorists was located in the downtown of the Romanian capital Bucharest.
This has been revealed by a former top CIA official, Kyle D. Foggo, the New York Times reported.
Two other identical secret CIA facilities used to detain and interrogate alleged Al Qaeda operatives were located in another former Eastern Bloc city, and in Morocco.
According to the report, Foggo was the third highest-ranking CIA official, and was in charge of creating the secret detention facilities starting in 2003.
Foggo is now serving a three-year sentence after in 2006 he pleaded guilty on charges of fraud involving a supplier of the CIA jails.
Bulgaria has occasionally been mentioned in the global media as a possible site of CIA secret prison; no confirmation of such claims has ever appeared.
