The US has been organising kidnapping and torture of suspected terrorists in other countries from Germany and American security forces used German airports to detain them, a joint-report by German TV channel NDR and the Munich daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung said.  Germany’s collusion with US anti-terror operations started in the aftermath of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, it said.  The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) organized the planning and construction of top secret rendition and torture centres abroad from the US command centre in Stuttgart and an air base in Ramstein, it claimed. US intelligence services also sifted through the records of asylum-seekers in Germany and collected information which could provide clues to identify possible targets for drone attacks, the report said. Investigations showed that the drone strikes in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Middle East and Africa are organised from Stuttgart and from the US military base in Ramstein. The US embassy in Berlin, however, dismissed the reports as speculations.
