Call for 'rendition' flight probe

BBC NEWS: "A human rights organisation and opposition MSPs have called on the Scottish Executive to investigate rendition flights at Prestwick Airport.

A Council of Europe inquiry said CIA flights carrying terror suspects used the Ayrshire airport to stop off on route to secret detention camps.

Amnesty International called for an investigation as a "matter of urgency".

Scottish Socialist MSP Rosie Kane said: 'The report clearly shows the UK have been involved in rendition.

'Governments involved in these activities should be in the dock including the UK government.' "
