The Polish Military Information Services (WSI) provided assistance to the CIA in its alleged prisons in Poland, Dziennik Gazeta Prawna reported, quoting documents unclassified by the European Court of Human Rights.

The WSI, a Polish military intelligence agency operating between 1991 and 2006, is said to have provided technical and security support to the CIA in Poland. The information comes from the testimony of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a Saudi citizen who claims he had been detained in a CIA prison in Poland.

Mr al-Nashiri is accused of being the mastermind behind the USS Cole bombing in 2000. General Marek Dukaczewski, then head of the WSI, said that the allegations were absurd.
