Bulgaria's Foreign Minister has no available information about CIA planes flying through the Black Sea town of Burgas, the spokesman of the ministry said following reports to this effect.

CIA has flown prisoners from Iraq and elsewhere from airport to airport in Eastern Europe, including the Bulgarian Black Sea town of Burgas, Wayne Madsen Report revealed last week, as cited by "Global Research".

The prisoners were placed in "dog-sized" cages on board C-130 planes.

The covert operation became fully operational after the disclosures of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib, Baghdad and Camp Bucca, Umm Qasr, Iraq, the article says, citing a well-placed intelligence source who served in eastern Europe.

The source, who spoke on a condition of anonymity, witnessed the ground work being laid for the "black sites" in a number of countries and locations. These include the Taszar airbase in south-central Hungary, near the town of Pecs; Lv'iv, Ukraine; Szczynto-Szymany, Poland; Skopje, Macedonia; Mihail Kogalniceanu airbase in Romania; Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia; Shkoder, Albania; Burgas, Bulgaria; and the Markuleshti air base in Moldova.

The "crated" prisoners were either removed from the C-130s for interrogation at Soviet-era detention centers or were kept and subjected to brutal interrogation on board the aircraft.
